description: Magnetohydronamic turbulence is believed to play a crucial role in heating the laboratorial, space, and astrophysical plasmas. However, the precise connection between the turbulent fluctuations and the particle kinetics has not yet been established. Here we present clear evidence of plasma turbulence heating based on diagnosed wave features and proton velocity distributions from solar wind measurements by the Wind spacecraft. For the first time, we can report the simultaneous observation of counter-propagating magnetohydrodynamic waves in the solar wind turbulence. Different from the traditional paradigm with counter-propagating Alfvén waves, anti-sunward Alfvén waves (AWs) are encountered by sunward slow magnetosonic waves (SMWs) in this new type of solar wind compressible turbulence. The counter-propagating AWs and SWs correspond respectively to the dominant and sub-dominant populations of the imbalanced Elsässer variables. Nonlinear interactions between the AWs and SMWs are inferred from the non-orthogonality between the possible oscillation direction of one wave and the possible propagation direction of the other. The associated protons are revealed to exhibit bi-directional asymmetric beams in their velocity distributions: sunward beams appearing in short and narrow patterns and anti-sunward broad extended tails. It is suggested that multiple types of wave-particle interactions, i.e., cyclotron and Landau resonances with AWs and SMWs at kinetic scales, are taking place to jointly heat the protons perpendicularly and parallel.
The CRF-1 receptor antagonist, CP-154,526, attenuates stress-induced increases in ethanol consumption by BALB/cJ mice

description: Corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF) signaling modulates neurobiological responses to stress and ethanol, and may modulate increases in ethanol consumption following exposure to stressful events. The current experiment was conducted to characterize the role of CRF1 receptor (CRF1R) signaling in stress-induced ethanol consumption in BALB/cJ and C57BL/6N mice. Male BALB/cJ and C57BL/6N mice were given continuous access to 8% (v/v) ethanol and were exposed to 5 minutes of forced swim stress on each of 5 consecutive days preceded by an intraperitoneal injection of a 10 mg/kg dose of CP-154,526, a selective CRF1R antagonist. Exposure to forced swim stress significantly increased ethanol consumption by the BALB/cJ, but not of the C57BL/6N, mice. BALB/cJ mice pretreated with the CRF1R antagonist showed blunted stress-induced increases in ethanol intake. The present results provide evidence that CRF1R signaling modulates the delayed increase of ethanol consumption stemming from repeated exposure to a stressful event in BALB/cJ mice.

description: We elaborate on a recent study of a model of supersymmetry breaking we proposed recently, in the presence of a tunable positive cosmological constant, based on a gauged shift symmetry of a string modulus, external to the Standard Model (SM) sector. Here, we identify this symmetry with a global symmetry of the SM and work out the corresponding phenomenology. A particularly attracting possibility is to use a combination of Baryon and Lepton number that contains the known matter parity and guarantees absence of dimension-four and five operators that violate B and L.

description: In asynchronous \ac{QDI} circuits, temporal masking is a serious concern because of their event-driven behavior, which makes them prone to environmental effects: Data acceptance windows, e.g.\ are defined by transitions (token/acknowledgement) alone, without temporal bounds, therefore a glitch occurring anytime throughout such a window cannot be distinguished from an expected, correct transition in a straightforward manner and hence threatens data integrity. Therefore, shortening that window is one proposed way in the literature to enhance temporal masking in \ac{QDI} designs. We examine a variant of the \ac{WCHB} called Interlocking \ac{WCHB} (which wisely shortens the transition window) because of its glitch filtering properties and a low cost implementation as compared to other variants. We propose modifications that enhance its dealing with illegal token words specifically when waiting for acknowledgment signal transitions in the so-called bubble limited operation mode. A very strict triple-check input filter with a glitch filter preventing the buffer from capturing an illegal state is used, which also enhances the deadlocking rate of the circuitry.
Lowering the hydrogen desorption temperature of NH3BH3 through B-group substitutions

description: We present ab initio results for substitutions in the promising hydrogen-storage material NH3BH3 to lower its hydrogen desorption temperature. Substitutions have already been investigated with significant success recently, but in all cases a less electronegative element is substituted for the protic hydrogen in the NH3 group of NH3BH3. We propose a different route, substituting th ehydridic hydrogen in the BH3 group with a more electronegative element. To keep the gravimetric density high, we focus on the second period elements C, N, O, and F, all with higher electronegativity compared to H. In addition, we investigate Cu and S as possible substitutions. Our main results include Bader charge analyses, hydrogen binding energies, and kinetic barriers for the hydrogen release reaction in the gas phase as well as in the solid. While the different substituents show varying effects on the kinetic barrier and thus desorption temperature - some overshoot our goal while others have little effect - we identify Cu as a very promising substituent, which lowers the reaction barrier by approximately 37% compared to NH3BH3 and thus significantly influences the hydrogen desorption temperature.

The Association between Reduction in PM2.5 and Improvement in Cardiovascular Mortality Rates

Year: 2017

description: We examined the association between county-level change in PM2.5 and change in cardiovascular mortality rate before and after implementation of the 1997 annual PM2.5 National Ambient Air Quality Standards. We examined how the association varied between counties stratified by attainment designation and by design values used in the designation process to characterize air quality. We used linear regression and difference-in-difference models, adjusted for sociodemographic confounders. Across 619 counties in the study, there were 1.10 (95% CI 0.37, 1.82) fewer deaths per year per 100,000 people per 1 µg/m3 PM2.5 decrease. Improvements in air quality and morality rates were greater in nonattainment counties and in the counties with the highest design values, while attainment counties and those with the lowest design values had greater decrease in mortality rate per unit decrease in PM2.5; however, the differences between estimates changes in mortality rates were not statistically significant.
title: Identification and Confinement of Fault Sensitivity Windows in QDI Logic

Publisher: name: TU Wien
Year: 2020
Subjects: asynchronous

description: Asynchronous, specifically QDI circuits are known to exhibit high resilience against faults affecting the timing. At the same time, their event based operation principle makes them susceptible to glitches. While synchronous circuits obtain high resilience through temporal masking that is established through the sampling of data by flip flops, asynchronous designs, by trying to be flexible about the phases of data validity, often have lower masking capabilities. Consequently, previous work has proposed to narrow down the windows in which data changes are accepted, in order to improve the temporal masking in QDI designs. In this paper we study the natural resilience of different QDI templates in more detail and quantitatively determine the windows of vulnerability through extensive fault injection experiments in simulation. To this end we propose a novel way of visualizing and analyzing the sensitivity windows that aids in identifying the key dependencies and vulnerabilities. In addition we introduce and evaluate two low-cost extensions for the pipeline registers which allow either to stall the operation in case a glitch creates an illegal symbol, or to prevent the creation of an illegal symbol in the first place.

description: The investigation of functional neuronal synchronization has recently become a growing field of research. With high temporal resolution, electroencephalography and magnetoencephalography are well-suited measurement techniques to identify networks of interacting sources underlying the recorded data. The analysis of the data in terms of effective connectivity, nevertheless, contains intrinsic issues such as the problem of volume conduction and the non-uniqueness of the inverse solution. Here, we briefly introduce a series of existing methods assessing these problems. To determine the locations of interacting brain sources robust to volume conduction, all computations are solely based on the imaginary part of the cross-spectrum as a trustworthy source of information. Furthermore, we demonstrate the feasibility of estimating causal relationships of systems of neuronal sources with the phase slope index in realistically simulated data. Finally, advantages and drawbacks of the applied methodology are highlighted and discussed.

description: The onset of several silent, chronic diseases such as diabetes can be detected only through diagnostic tests. Due to cost considerations, self-reported outcomes are routinely collected in lieu of expensive diagnostic tests in large-scale prospective investigations such as the Women's Health Initiative. However, self-reported outcomes are subject to imperfect sensitivity and specificity. Using a semiparametric likelihood-based approach, we present time to event models to estimate the association of one or more covariates with a error-prone, self-reported outcome. We present simulation studies to assess the effect of error in self-reported outcomes with regard to bias in the estimation of the regression parameter of interest. We apply the proposed methods to prospective data from 152,830 women enrolled in the Women's Health Initiative to evaluate the effect of statin use with the risk of incident diabetes mellitus among postmenopausal women. The current analysis is based on follow-up through 2010, with a median duration of follow-up of 12.1 years. The methods proposed in this paper are readily implemented using our freely available R software package icensmis, which is available at the Comprehensive R Archive Network (CRAN) website.

Stability Analysis of Magnetised Neutron Stars - A Semi-analytic Approach

Year: 2015
Subjects: subject: Solar and Stellar Astrophysics (astro-ph.SR)

description: We implement a semi-analytic approach for stability analysis, addressing the ongoing uncertainty about stability and structure of neutron star magnetic fields. Applying the energy variational principle, a model system is displaced from its equilibrium state. The related energy density variation is set up analytically, whereas its volume integration is carried out numerically. This facilitates the consideration of more realistic neutron star characteristics within the model compared to analytical treatments. At the same time, our method retains the possibility to yield general information about neutron star magnetic field and composition structures that are likely to be stable. In contrast to numerical studies, classes of parametrized systems can be studied at once, finally constraining realistic configurations for interior neutron star magnetic fields. We apply the stability analysis scheme on polytropic and non-barotropic neutron stars with toroidal, poloidal and mixed fields testing their stability in a Newtonian framework. Furthermore, we provide the analytical scheme for dropping the Cowling approximation in an axisymmetric system and investigate its impact. Our results confirm the instability of simple magnetised neutron star models as well as a stabilisation tendency in the case of mixed fields and stratification. These findings agree with analytical studies whose spectrum of model systems we extend by lifting former simplifications.

description: When searching for new gravitational-wave or electromagnetic sources, the n signal parameters (masses, sky location, frequencies,...) are unknown. In practice, one hunts for signals at a discrete set of points in parameter space, with a computational cost that is proportional to the number of these points. If that is fixed, the question arises, where should the points be placed in parameter space? The current literature advocates selecting the set of points (called a "template bank") whose Wigner-Seitz (also called Voronoï) cells have the smallest covering radius (smallest maximal mismatch). Mathematically, such a template bank is said to have "minimum thickness". Here, for realistic populations of signal sources, we compute the fraction of potential detections which are "lost"because the template bank is discrete. We show that at fixed computational cost, the minimum thickness template bank does not maximize the expected number of detections. Instead, the most detections are obtained for a bank which minimizes a particular functional of the mismatch. For closely spaced templates, the fraction of lost detections is proportional to a scale-invariant "quantizer constant"G, which measures the average squared distance from the nearest template, i.e., the average expected mismatch. This provides a straightforward way to characterize and compare the effectiveness of different template banks. The template bank which minimizes G is mathematically called the "optimal quantizer", and maximizes the expected number of detections. We review optimal quantizer and minimum thickness template banks that are built as n-dimensional lattices, showing that even the best of these offer only a marginal advantage over template banks based on the humble cubic lattice.

description: Elliptic partial differential equations (ePDEs) appear in a wide variety of areas of mathematics, physics and engineering. Typically, ePDEs must be solved numerically, which sets an ever growing demand for efficient and highly parallel algorithms to tackle their computational solution. The Scheduled Relaxation Jacobi (SRJ) is a promising class of methods, atypical for combining simplicity and efficiency, that has been recently introduced for solving linear Poisson-like ePDEs. The SRJ methodology relies on computing the appropriate parameters of a multilevel approach with the goal of minimizing the number of iterations needed to cut down the residuals below specified tolerances. The efficiency in the reduction of the residual increases with the number of levels employed in the algorithm. Applying the original methodology to compute the algorithm parameters with more than 5 levels notably hinders obtaining optimal SRJ schemes, as the mixed (non-linear) algebraic-differential equations from which they result become notably stiff. Here we present a new methodology for obtaining the parameters of SRJ schemes that overcomes the limitations of the original algorithm and provide parameters for SRJ schemes with up to 15 levels and resolutions of up to $2^{15}$ points per dimension, allowing for acceleration factors larger than several hundreds with respect to the Jacobi method for typical resolutions and, in some high resolution cases, close to 1000. Furthermore, we extend the original algorithm to apply it to certain systems of non-linear ePDEs.

Year: 2008

description: Tricho-dento-osseous (TDO) syndrome is an autosomal dominant trait characterized by curly kinky hair at birth, enamel hypoplasia, taurodontism, thickening of cortical bones and variable expression of craniofacial morphology. Genetic studies have identified a 4 bp deletion in the DLX3 gene that is associated with TDO; however, phenotypic characterization and classification of TDO remains unclear in the literature. This study compares the craniofacial variations between 53 TDO affected subjects and 34 unaffected family members. Standardized cephalograms were obtained and digitized. Cephalometric measures were analyzed using a general linear model with family as a random effect. Many of the craniofacial measurements in both groups showed marked variability. TDO affected subjects showed smaller SNB, ANB angles, longer mandibular corpus length (GoGn) and shorter ramus height (p<0.05).
Planning, power and ethics

description: The integrity of planning as a profession is under challenge. The retreat from rational comprehensive planning in the 1960s has not produced an adequate substitute. Into the breach, a number of competing perspectives have emerged. While a plurality of views now exist, planning still remains firmly enmeshed in a corporatist practice. Of greater concern is the crowding out of useful alternative views by a new brand of opportunism. The rise of laissez-faire corporatism and the displacement o of liberal corporatism have moved the planning agenda decisively to the Right. Values and ethics have been sacrifice in the service of powerful private interests. As a result planning has lost much of its capacity to conceptualize a legitimate notion of the public interest. This seriously undermines the professional status of planning practice, because all professions which hope to be taken seriously must somehow profess some notion of the public interest. For planning to recover its purpose and sense of direction and a sound ethical purpose and sense of direction, and a sound ethical base for action, a six-point agenda, centred around empowerment and ecology, is suggested.
description: L'intégrité de l'urbanisme, à titre de profession, est en danger. Le repli de l'urbanisme rationnel global au cours des années 1960 n'a pas donné lieu à un substitut approprié. Le vide a été comblé par un certain nombre de perspectives compétitives. Il existe maintenant une pluralité de points de vues, mais l'urbanisme demeure encore fermement imbriqué dans la pratique corporatiste. Plus inquiétant encore, les nouveaux points de vue utiles sont écartés au profit d'un nouveau type d'opportunisme. La montée du corporatisme de type laissez-faire et la destitution du corporatisme libéral ont résolument fait pencher l'urbanisme vers la droite. Les valeurs et l'éthique ont été sacrifiées au profit de puissants intérêts privés. Ainsi, l'urbanisme a perdu une bonne part de sa capacité d'élaborer un concept légitime de l'intérêt public. Cette situation met gravement en danger le statut professionnel de la pratique urbanistique, puisque toute profession désireuse d'être prise au sérieux doit professer un certaine notion de l'intérêt public. Pour permettre à l'urbanisme de retrouver ses objectifs éthiques et son orientation, les auteurs proposent un programme en six poits, axé sur l'écologie et la capacité de se doter de pouvoirs.

Subjects: subject: Academic achievement

description: This action research study was designed to discover what students at an adult learning centre believed were the factors that both promoted and prevented their educational success. The centre was located in a medium sized town in British Columbia, Canada. Using a two stage selection process, five participants were randomly chosen from the student population to be part of a one time, focus-group interview. The participants were asked five questions and their answers were tape recorded and transcribed into text which formed the data for the study. Qualitative analysis of the text identified some common themes under the three headings of situational, institutional, and dispositional. Situational refers to factors outside of the control of the centre such as family and work-related issues. Institutional refers to those factors within the control of the centre such as staff attitudes and timetabling. Dispositional factors focus on students‘ attitudes to education in general. The most prominent factors that students believed contributed to their success were staff support, system flexibility, and a positive environment. The most prominent barriers mentioned were the hours of operation and poor communication. Almost all of the factors mentioned by the participants were institutional in nature which led the researcher to make some concrete recommendations to the centre. Implementing these recommendations could lead to a more successful learning environment for the students at this adult learning centre. This study and these recommendations may be of interest to other adult learning centres.

description: We compute predictions for various low-transverse-momentum bulk observables in $\sqrt{s_{NN}} = 5.023$ TeV Pb+Pb collisions at the LHC from the event-by-event next-to-leading-order perturbative-QCD + saturation + viscous hydrodynamics ("EKRT") model. In particular, we consider the centrality dependence of charged hadron multiplicity, flow coefficients of the azimuth-angle asymmetries and correlations of event-plane angles. The centrality dependencies of the studied observables are predicted to be very similar to those at 2.76 TeV, and the magnitudes of the flow coefficients and event-plane angle correlations are predicted to be close to those at 2.76 TeV. The flow coefficients may, however, offer slightly more discriminating power on the temperature dependence of QCD matter viscosity than the 2.76 TeV measurements. Our prediction for the multiplicity in the 0-5\% centrality class, obtained using the two temperature-dependent shear-viscosity-to-entropy ratios that give the best overall fit to RHIC and LHC data is $dN_{\rm ch}/dη\big|_{|η|\le 0.5} =1876\dots2046$. We also predict a power-law increase from 200 GeV Au+Au collisions at RHIC to 2.76 and 5.023 TeV Pb+Pb collisions at the LHC, $dN_{\rm ch}/dη\big|_{|η|\le 0.5} \propto s^{0.164\dots0.174}$.

The incest taboo as anti-family values in Elfriede Jelinek’s Die Ausgesperrten
Creators: name: Jones, Roger Dale
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2007

description: According to some theorists, the incest taboo is the basis for the formation of all society, and the family unit is the basic structure of power in which the incest taboo is enforced. Ironically, in Elfriede Jelinek’s Die Ausgesperrten, the protagonist, who is on the verge of becoming an adult, is forced to murder his entire family because it stands in the way of his accepting the incest taboo. Needless to say, there are severe problems in his family and in his society and these problems place him in this contradiction. Using Freud’s theory of the Oedipus Complex. I will reveal the nature of the bourgeois family structure and of society in 1950s Austria as disastrous for the incest taboo and, with it, for the fundamentals of society. I will also reveal how the eradication of the family structure allows hope for progress.

description: In order to transport sufficiently high current, high-temperature superconductor (HTS) tapes are assembled in cable structures of different forms. In such cables, the tapes are tightly packed and have a strong electromagnetic interaction. In particular, the generated self-field is quite substantial and can give an important contribution in reducing the maximum current the cable can effectively carry. In order to be able to predict the critical current of said cable structures, a static numerical model has been recently proposed. In this contribution, we present in detail the implementation of such models in different programming environments, including finite-element-based and general numerical analysis programs, both commercial an open-source. A comparison of the accuracy and calculation speed of the different implementations of the model is carried out for the case of a Roebel cable. The model is also used to evaluate the importance of choosing a very accurate description of the angular Jc(B) dependence of the superconductor as input for the material's property. The numerical codes, which are open-source, are made freely available to interested users.

description: We present a novel parameter-free cosmological void finder (\textsc{dive}, Delaunay TrIangulation Void findEr) based on Delaunay Triangulation (DT), which efficiently computes the empty spheres constrained by a discrete set of tracers. We define the spheres as DT voids, and describe their properties, including an universal density profile together with an intrinsic scatter. We apply this technique on 100 halo catalogues with volumes of 2.5\,$h^{-1}$Gpc side each, with a bias and number density similar to the BOSS CMASS Luminous Red Galaxies, performed with the \textsc{patchy} code. Our results show that there are two main species of DT voids, which can be characterised by the radius: they have different responses to halo redshift space distortions, to number density of tracers, and reside in different dark matter environments. Based on dynamical arguments using the tidal field tensor, we demonstrate that large DT voids are hosted in expanding regions, whereas the haloes used to construct them reside in collapsing ones. Our approach is therefore able to efficiently determine the troughs of the density field from galaxy surveys, and can be used to study their clustering. We further study the power spectra of DT voids, and find that the bias of the two populations are different, demonstrating that the small DT voids are essentially tracers of groups of haloes.

description: We study the $K^*$ meson reduction in heavy ion collisions by focusing on the hadronic effects on the $K^*$ meson abundance. We evaluate the absorption cross sections of the $K^*$ and $K$ meson by light mesons in the hadronic matter, and further investigate the variation in the meson abundances for both particles during the hadronic stage of heavy ion collisions. We show how the interplay between the interaction of the $K^*$ meson and kaon with light mesons in the hadronic medium determines the final yield difference of the statistical hadronization model to the experimental measurements. For the central Au+Au collision at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}=200$ GeV, we find that the $K^*/K$ yield ratio at chemical freeze-out decreases by $36\%$ during the expansion of the hadronic matter, resulting in the final ratio comparable to STAR measurements of 0.23 $\pm0.05$.

description: How ferromagnetic phases emerge in itinerant systems is an outstanding problem in quantum magnetism. Here we consider a repulsive two-component Fermi gas confined in a two dimensional isotropic harmonic potential and subject to a large Rashba spin-orbit (SO) coupling, whose single-particle dispersion can be tailored by adjusting the SO coupling strength. We show that the interplay among SO coupling, correlation effects and mean-field repulsion leads to a competition between ferromagnetic and non-magnetic phases. At intermediate interaction strengths, ferromagnetic phase emerges which can be well described by the mean-field Hartree-Fock theory; whereas at strong interaction strengths, a strongly correlated non-magnetic phase is favored due to the beyond-mean-field quantum correlation effects. Furthermore, the ferromagnetic phase of this system possesses a chiral current density induced by the Rashba spin-orbit coupling, whose experimental signature is investigated.

description: Aim: To determine the effects of interventional follow-up phone calls on the quality of life in adult patients with heart failure. Design: Quasi‐experimental with a one-group pretest-posttest. Methods: This study was conducted on 26 patients with heart failure from an internationally recognized healthcare organization in Saudi Arabia. Data were collected by sociodemographic and clinical survey and Minnesota Living with Heart Failure Questionnaire. Paired t-test, independent t-test, and correlations were performed using SPSS version 25. Results: A statistically significant difference was found between the pre‐intervention and post‐intervention mean scores of the total quality of life scale and all the subscales of physical, emotional/psychological, and socio-economic. The participants’ overall quality of life increased significantly after the intervention. Interventional follow-up phone calls were found to be effective in improving the quality of life of patients. By providing empirical evidence, this research may motivate cardiology nurses to pursue such programs in this population.

description: In this paper we introduce the concept of a convolution type operation of functionals on Wiener space. It contains several kinds of the concepts of convolution products on Wiener space, which have been studied by many authors. We then investigate fundamental relationships between generalized analytic Fourier--Feynman transforms and convolution type operations. Both of the generalized analytic Fourier--Feynman transform of the convolution type operation and the convolution type operation of the generalized analytic Fourier--Feynman transforms are represented as a product of the generalized analytic Fourier--Feynman transforms.

description: A self-consistent analytical solution of the multi-subband Boltzmann transport equation with collision term describing grain boundary and surface roughness scattering is presented to study the resistivity scaling in metal nanowires. The different scattering mechanisms and the influence of their statistical parameters are analyzed. Instead of a simple power law relating the height or width of a nanowire to its resistivity, the picture appears to be more complicated due to quantum-mechanical scattering and quantization effects, especially for surface roughness scattering.

ESL learners' perceptions of American dialects
Creators: name: Damann, Melissa M.
Publisher: name: University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
Year: 2006

description: This study was conducted to determine how ESL (English as a Second Language) learners' perception of American dialects differs from the perception of native American English speakers. 39 ESL students and 18 native speakers listened to and rated eight different speakers, representing four different dialects (i.e. Standard American English, Southern American English, African American English and Latino English). These speakers were rated on status, solidarity and language proficiency-related characteristics. The ESL and native speaker groups ranked the dialect groups similarly on status-related features (i.e. successful, smart, confident). However, the test groups had markedly different rankings of the dialect groups for solidarity-related features (i.e. dependable, funny, friendly). The ESL and native speaker groups had similar rankings concerning the speakers' language proficiency (i.e. speaking English well). However, with the exception of the Standard dialect, the ESL group generally viewed each dialect's proficiency more positively than the native speaker group.
