description: Planlægning og drift af den kollektive trafik er en konservativ industri. Planlægningen heraf udføres typisk med gamle teknikker og metoder, samt bygger i mangel af bedre ofte på utidssvarende eller mangelfulde data. Den konservative tankegang i den kollektive trafik skal ændres til nytænkning og opdatering af de datakilder, som anvendes til den kollektive trafikplanlægning. En mulig forbedring er data indsamlet fra brugen af Rejsekort. Rejsekortdata indeholder detaljerede informationer omkring brugernes rejser, og kan derved beskrive deres rejsemønstre. De nuværende tilgængelige informationer omkring rejsemønstre er begrænset, og ift. dem som kan opnås fra rejsekortdata, næsten ubetydelig. Et bedre kendskab til rejsemønstre vil kunne reducere kompleksiteten ved planlægningen, og samtidig gøre det lettere at begrunde forslag til ændringer. I denne artikel vises forskellige eksempler på analyser, der kan foretages med rejsekortdata ud fra et casestudie. I casestudiet analyseres rejsekortdata for to begrænsede perioder for hvornår der rejses, hvem der rejser (passagertypefordelingen), hvor der rejses og hvor mange der rejser. Alle disse informationer kan tilsammen danne et godt datagrundlag for beslutninger. Rejsekortdata vil derfor uden tvivl, i fremtiden blive et vigtigt, hvis ikke det vigtigste, værktøj i forbindelse med planlægningen af den kollektive trafik.

description: We study chiral phase transition and confinement of matter fields in (2+1)-dimensional U(1) gauge theory of massless Dirac fermions and scalar bosons. The vanishing scalar boson mass, $r=0$, defines a quantum critical point between the Higgs phase and the Coulomb phase. We consider only the critical point $r=0$ and the Coulomb phase with $r > 0$. The Dirac fermion acquires a dynamical mass when its flavor is less than certain critical value $N_{f}^{c}$, which depends quantitatively on the flavor $N_{b}$ and the scalar boson mass $r$. When $N_{f} < N_{f}^{c}$, the matter fields carrying internal gauge charge are all confined if $r \neq 0$ but are deconfined at the quantum critical point $r = 0$. The system has distinct low-energy elementary excitations at the critical point $r=0$ and in the Coulomb phase with $r \neq 0$. We calculate the specific heat and susceptibility of the system at $r=0$ and $r \neq 0$, which can help to detect the quantum critical point and to judge whether dynamical fermion mass generation takes place.

description: Participatory research projects with young people often seek to empower them through knowledge and skills development to become independent actors who can advocate for themselves. However, they usually come with ethical complexities and potential risks that require careful navigation by lead investigators. This research article delves into the perils linked to young researchers exercising their discovered ‘power’ or rather ‘agency’ against ethical principles on a sensitive topic. Against this backdrop, the article advocates for (1) the necessity of providing ethical training to young participants, (2) maintaining ongoing follow-ups to recall the key issues, and (3) ensuring that the voices of young participants are actively integrated into the exploration of research ethics alongside adult researchers.
Skjult potentiale for busfremkommelighed

Publisher: name: Proceedings from the Annual Transport Conference at Aalborg University
Year: 2017

description: I hovedstadsområdet, der har et udbredt netværk af skinnebåren kollektiv trafik (tog, S-tog og metro), udnyttes bussernes fleksibilitet som bindeled mellem stationer på tværs af tog- og metrolinjer og udgør derved en væsentlig del af det kollektive trafiknet. Busfremkommelighed er et afgørende element i at skabe et attraktivt kollektivt trafiknet, men udfordres af stigende trængsel på vejene. En forbedring af bussernes fremkommelighed kan derfor have en positiv indvirkning på passagerernes samlede rejseoplevelse. Metoder til udpegning af strækninger med potentiale for rejsetidsforbedringer vil typisk være baseret på historiske rejsetidsdata, som analyseres i en potentialeberegning. Strækninger med stor variation mellem de observerede rejsetidsmålinger vil blive udpeget. Det vil sige, at metoden typisk udpeger de strækninger, hvor forringet busfremkommelighed skyldes trængsel i spidstimerne. Metoden har den ulempe, at den ikke tager højde for, at der kan være et skjult potentiale for at forbedre fremkommeligheden for de busser, der i dag har den korteste rejsetid. Det kan være tilfældet, hvis busserne forsinkes i et signalanlæg med lang ventetid over hele døgnet. Der er altså en risiko for at metoden overser projekter, hvor der er et åbenlyst potentiale for at forbedre bussens fremkommelighed. For at imødekomme den ulempe har Via Trafik udviklet en ny udpegningsmetode. Den nye metode gennemføres ved at foretage videoregistreringer på de enkelte ruter i det hurtigste tidsinterval for at undersøge, om det er muligt at forbedre fremkommeligheden yderligere. Metoden er afprøvet og tilpasset i forbindelse med et projekt om effektivisering af det strategiske busnet når Metro Cityringen åbner i 2019, hvor metoden er anvendt som supplement til en traditionel metode til udpegning af lokaliteter med potentiale for bedre busfremkommelighed.

description: Vejdirektoratet og de kollektive trafikselskaber har ultimo 2015 etableret et fælles samarbejdsforum. Dette forum skal skabe rammen for aktiviteter, der kan give den kollektive trafik en nemmere og sikrere rejse på statsvejnettet. I den forbindelse har styregruppen nedsat en arbejdsgruppe, som skal gennemføre et projekt, der har til formål at identificere, belyse og foreslå nye metoder til busprioritering på statsvejnettet. Arbejdsgruppen har udarbejdet et katalog over tiltag, der kan forbedre bussernes fremkommelighed og regularitet på statsvejnettet. Kataloget skal anvendes til at understøtte og konkretisere de lokaliteter som trafikselskaberne og Vejdirektoratet har udpeget som værende fremkommelighedsbelastede i forhold til bustrafikken. Effekterne og de økonomiske overvejelser fra tiltagene i kataloget indarbejdes i Vejdirektoratets arbejde med prioritering af lokaliteter til forbedring af bussernes fremkommelighed. Kataloget kan ligeledes anvendes af trafikselskaberne i deres arbejde med at udpege og konkretisere løsninger, som kan forbedre den kollektive trafik på statsvejene. Kataloget omfatter fysiske tiltag i alle dele af vejinfrastrukturen, herunder tilpasninger af styreprogrammer og signalanlæg. Belysning af buskørsel i nødsporet er nævnt eksplicit i gruppens opdrag. Generelt er der potentiale for at forbedre busfremkommeligheden på statsvejnettet, hvis der gøres en målrettet indsats, og der sættes ind på de rigtige steder.

Comparison of the responses of benthic and planktonic communities to enrichment with inorganic fertilizers
Creators: name: Cameron, Roderick L.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: A comparison was made of the responses of benthic and planktonic components of natural water-sediment systems enriched with inorganic fertilizers. Three levels of fertilization were applied to a series of enclosures placed in a shallow (1 m depth) area of Marion Lake, British Columbia and community respiration, primary production, standing algal crop and the distribution of added phosphorus were measured in both the sediment and the water column over a period of two years. A loss of added phosphorus from the water column corresponded to an increase measured in the sediment. Uptake and release of phosphorus by the sediment was proportional to its concentration in the water column, indicating a water-sediment equilibrium. In an undisturbed system, however, there was a net movement of phosphorus into the sediment . A sustained high level of planktonic primary production persisted throughout the period of fertilization. However, an initial increase in total benthic primary production returned to pre-fertilization levels following the establishment of an increased standing crop of epipelic algae. At this point, benthic primary production appeared to be a function of grazing pressure, responding to increased grazing but not to additional fertilization. When grazing was experimentally increased by concentrating grazers in an experimental area, benthic primary production increased. Fertilized sediment appeared to have a much greater ability to withstand increased grazing pressure than normal sediment, maintaining high levels of primary production even at five times normal grazer density. But despite this potential, measurements of grazer and bacteria populations within the experimental enclosures showed no response to the greater standing crop of epipelic algae. As a result, sustained increase in benthic primary production could be induced only experiment-, ally. It was concluded that the benthic community was more stable in its response to enrichment than that of the plankton and by absorbing nutrients from the water column served to dampen the effects of the more pronounced fluctuations of the planktonic community.

description: We calculate the elliptic flow parameter $v_2$ for Au+Au collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}=200$ GeV employing the parton cascade BAMPS (Boltzmann Approach of Multiparton Scatterings). Besides gluon interactions including the bremsstrahlung process, interactions with quarks are considered in an effective, but approximate way to investigate the dependence of the collective flow on the number of parton degrees of freedom. We find that $v_2$ as a function of the transverse momentum $p_T$ is sensitive to the number of parton degrees of freedom, whereas the $p_T$ averaged $v_2$ does not. When including quarks, $v_2(p_T)$ shifts to lower $p_T$, the parton transverse momentum spectra become softer and the mean parton transverse momenta decrease.

Renormalization group equations in resonance chiral theory: the pi pi vector form-factor

description: The use of the equations of motion and meson field redefinitions allows the simplification of the subleading operators required in the one-loop resonance chiral theory calculation of the pi pi vector form-factor. The study of the renormalization group equations of the relevant parameters shows the existence of an infrared fixed point for all the couplings. It is important to remark that this result does not rely on the high-energy form-factor constraints, which are often considered in other works. The possibility of developing a perturbative 1/Nc expansion in the slow running region around the fixed point is shown here.

description: Det er vigtigt forsat at investere i den kollektive trafik. Kollektiv trafik udgør en vigtig brik i det samlede udbud af transport. Toget er i dag rygraden i den kollektive trafik, og en vigtig del af et effektivt, sammenhængende transportsystem, hvor de enkelte transportmidler anvendes, der hvor de giver mest samfundsmæssig værdi - dvs. at tog, busser, cykler, biler og fly kombineres på kryds og tværs efter behov. For at få mest muligt mobilitet for pengene, handler det derfor om at køre tog, der hvor toget er konkurrencedygtigt med hurtige forbindelser på de lange stræk, og der hvor der er store pendlerstrømme og trængsel på vejene. Allerede besluttede investeringer i tog og jernbaner vil gøre toget endnu stærkere i fremtiden. Kvaliteten af togbetjeningen, byplanlægning, stationsnærhed og samspillet mellem transportformerne er afgørende for togets fremtid. Alt sammen noget, staten kan påvirke. Dertil kommer prisen for en togbillet, som også er en vigtig parameter i konkurrencen med andre transportformer. Trafik-, Bygge- og Boligstyrelsen er ved at udarbejde trafikplanen for den statslige jernbane for 2017-2032. Trafikplanen præsenterer de statslige initiativer på jernbanen og rammerne for trafikken. Trafikplanen giver et overblik over vedtagne projekter og den forventede udvikling i togbetjening og passagerprognoser på 5, 10 og 15 års sigte – helt ned på stationsniveau. En stigning i anvendelsen af den kollektive trafik forudsætter først og fremmest at grundproduktet – rejsetid, frekvens, komfort, tilgængelighed og pris – bliver mere konkurrencedygtigt. Fra statslig side kan en række forskellige virkemidler bringes i anvendelse i bestræbelserne på at øge anvendelsen af den kollektive trafik. Trafikplanen har fokus på de virkemidler staten kan påvirke, dvs. investeringer i infrastruktur og indkøb af trafik. Først og fremmest er det som hidtil muligt at satse på infrastrukturudbygninger, som giver mulighed for at forbedre tog-betjeningen med kortere rejsetid, hyppigere drift og bedre rettidighed eller betjening af helt nye rejsestrømme.

Addressing the Impact of Data Truncation and Parameter Uncertainty on Operational Risk Estimates

description: Typically, operational risk losses are reported above some threshold. This paper studies the impact of ignoring data truncation on the 0.999 quantile of the annual loss distribution for operational risk for a broad range of distribution parameters and truncation levels. Loss frequency and severity are modelled by the Poisson and Lognormal distributions respectively. Two cases of ignoring data truncation are studied: the "naive model" - fitting a Lognormal distribution with support on a positive semi-infinite interval, and "shifted model" - fitting a Lognormal distribution shifted to the truncation level. For all practical cases, the "naive model" leads to underestimation (that can be severe) of the 0.999 quantile. The "shifted model" overestimates the 0.999 quantile except some cases of small underestimation for large truncation levels. Conservative estimation of capital charge is usually acceptable and the use of the "shifted model" can be justified while the "naive model" should not be allowed. However, if parameter uncertainty is taken into account (in practice it is often ignored), the "shifted model" can lead to considerable underestimation of capital charge. This is demonstrated with a practical example.

description: Wearables that constantly collect various sensor data of their users increase the chances for inferences of unintentional and sensitive information such as passwords typed on a physical keyboard. We take a thorough look at the potential of using electromyographic (EMG) data, a sensor modality which is new to the market but has lately gained attention in the context of wearables for augmented reality (AR), for a keylogging side-channel attack. Our approach is based on neural networks for a between-subject attack in a realistic scenario using the Myo Armband to collect the sensor data. In our approach, the EMG data has proven to be the most prominent source of information compared to the accelerometer and gyroscope, increasing the keystroke detection performance. For our end-to-end approach on raw data, we report a mean balanced accuracy of about 76 % for the keystroke detection and a mean top-3 key accuracy of about 32 % on 52 classes for the key identification on passwords of varying strengths. We have created an extensive dataset including more than 310 000 keystrokes recorded from 37 volunteers, which is available as open access along with the source code used to create the given results.

description: Many robotics tasks, such as path planning or trajectory optimization, are formulated as optimal control problems (OCPs). The key to obtaining high performance lies in the design of the OCP's objective function. In practice, the objective function consists of a set of individual components that must be carefully modeled and traded off such that the OCP has the desired solution. It is often challenging to balance multiple components to achieve the desired solution and to understand, when the solution is undesired, the impact of individual cost components. In this paper, we present a framework addressing these challenges based on the concept of directional corrections. Specifically, given the solution to an OCP that is deemed undesirable, and access to an expert providing the direction of change that would increase the desirability of the solution, our method analyzes the individual cost components for their "consistency" with the provided directional correction. This information can be used to improve the OCP formulation, e.g., by increasing the weight of consistent cost components, or reducing the weight of - or even redesigning - inconsistent cost components. We also show that our framework can automatically tune parameters of the OCP to achieve consistency with a set of corrections.

description: Analytical calculations show that the mean-motion of a quantum particle trapped by a rapidly oscillating potential can be significantly manipulated by inducing phase hops, i.e., by instantaneously changing the potential's phase. A phase hop can be visualized as being the result of a collision with an imaginary particle which can be controlled. Several phase hops can have accumulating effects on the particle's mean-motion, even if they transform the particle's Hamiltonian into its initial one. The theoretical predictions are verified by numerical simulations for the one-dimensional Paul-trap.

HIV-AIDS, risk and the transformation of sexuality in Yogyakarta
Creators: name: Rowe, EM
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: HIV-AIDS is both an agency for change and an unfortunate side effect of the revolutionising forces of globalisation and modernisation. The epidemic should not be viewed simply as a biomedical concern. HIV-AIDS brings into question all that motivates and preoccupies a society. By looking into the phenomenon of such a meaning-laden illness we can learn much about a nation and the way that nation wishes to be portrayed. In recent times, HIV-AIDS has been perceived theoretically as a gendered epidemic. The inference is that the virus is longer perceived to affect homosexuals or marginalised communities only: it has also taken on a female face. In developing nations the epidemic is conceptualised as an illness of deviants and a metaphor for socio-sexual liberation and transgression. This understanding has encouraged policy makers and charismatic authorities to vigorously promote strictly conservative cultural values in order to address the issue of HIV-AIDS. Javanese culture has very clear understandings of masculinity and femininity, articulated in a gender ideology which was strengthened and systematically imposed during the period of the conservative Suharto regime. Women who stepped outside the models prescribed by this ideology were and continue to be condemned and silenced. A conservative gender and sexuality ideology shapes the manner in which men and women interact. Nevertheless, throughout history there have existed alternative models. In the contemporary period these models in many ways align with influences from other worlds. Young women living in urban contexts in Java are exploring alternative ways of self-expression, beginning to question traditional ideals and demonstrating diversifying and modernised socio-sexual behaviours. This dissertation seeks to explore emerging female socio-sexual identities in Y ogyakarta, Indonesia, within the framework of the impact of HIV-AIDS and young women's perceptions of the epidemic. Observations of the lifestyles of young women are brought together with an exploration of their attitudes and experiences related to sexuality and HIVAIDS. It is argued that HIV-AIDS can be used as conceptual tool for investigating change. The manner in which the epidemic has been apprehended by the authorities and how it is understood and experienced within society can be seen to reflect both the formal agendas of the nation and how nation and society are transforming.

description: Signal-processing molecules inside cells are often present at low copy number, which necessitates probabilistic models to account for intrinsic noise. Probability distributions have traditionally been found using simulation-based approaches which then require estimating the distributions from many samples. Here we present in detail an alternative method for directly calculating a probability distribution by expanding in the natural eigenfunctions of the governing equation, which is linear. We apply the resulting spectral method to three general models of stochastic gene expression: a single gene with multiple expression states (often used as a model of bursting in the limit of two states), a gene regulatory cascade, and a combined model of bursting and regulation. In all cases we find either analytic results or numerical prescriptions that greatly outperform simulations in efficiency and accuracy. In the last case, we show that bimodal response in the limit of slow switching is not only possible but optimal in terms of information transmission.

description: E-handlen er stigende, bl.a. er der stor vækst i E-handel med fysiske og ferske produkter. Dagligt leveres i Danmark ca. 430.000 e-handlede pakker, fordelt på 10-20.000 varebiler, der anvendes til pakkekørsel. E- handel kan dog kun tages til indtægt for en lille del af varebilstrafikken, og den samlede trafik. Analyser af de store veje i de centrale dele af Hovedstadsområdet viser, at pakketerminalernes placering er afgørende for E-handelstrafikkens ruter på vejnettet. For forbindelser mellem Københavns centrum og området vest for København kan varebiler med E-pakker stå for op til 9 % af varebiltrafikken, eller 1,8 % af den samlede trafik. Andre steder er betydningen mindre. E-handlens vækst forventes at fortsætte, og ændrede forbrugerpræferencer mod f.eks. straks-levering eller levering på fastsatte tidspunkter kan give mere trafik, men effektivisering blandt transportører (pakkebutikker o.l.) trækker i den anden retning. Den lille betydning af E-handel for trafikken på det overordnede vejnet peger mod, at de planlægningsmæssige implikationer først og fremmest er af lokal/regional karakter i og omkring de største byer og knyttet til lokaliseringen af logistik-knudepunkter.

description: Conference Details:  ISMB/ECCB, 25th - 30th July 2021, Virtual (url) AND GenomePT, 7th July, Virtual (url) The poster is based on a paper titled "CStone: A de novo transcriptome assembler for short-read data that identifies non-chimeric contigs based on underlying graph structure" that is available here. Presented by John Archer. Poster Abstract: Artificially generated chimeric sequences can closely resemble underlying expressed trans- cripts, but patterns such as those seen between co-evolving sites or re-mapped read counts become obscured. With the exponential growth of sequence information stored over the last decade the quantification of chimeras has become essential, especially when assembling read data. We have created a lenient de Bruijn based de novo assembler, CStone, that annotates each contig produced with one of three classification levels indicating whether or not it can be guaranteed to be non-chimeric. Classification levels are dependent on the complexity of the gene family from which the reads are derived. As a demonstration of CStones ability to assemb- le high quality contigs, and to label them in this manner, RNA-Seq data was simulated from cDNA libraries representing ten different species and assembled using three different assem- blers: CStone, Trinity [1] and rnaSPAdes [2], On comparison back to the original cDNA libraries the contigs that CStone generates are comparable in quality to those of Trinity and rnaSpades, while providing additional information on chimerism.

description: We study Kapitza-Dirac diffraction of a Bose-Einstein condensate from a standing light wave for a square pulse with variable pulse length but constant pulse area. We find that for sufficiently weak pulses, the usual analytical short-pulse prediction for the Raman-Nath regime continues to hold for longer times, albeit with a reduction of the apparent modulation depth of the standing wave. We quantitatively relate this effect to the Fourier width of the pulse, and draw analogies to the Rabi dynamics of a coupled two-state system. Our findings, combined with numerical modeling for stronger pulses, are of practical interest for the calibration of optical lattices in ultracold atomic systems.

description: We use Metropolis Monte Carlo and umbrella sampling to calculate the free energies of interaction of two methane molecules and their charged derivatives in cylindrical water-filled pores. Confinement strongly alters the interactions between the nonpolar solutes, and completely eliminates the solvent separated minimum (SSM) that is seen in bulk water. The free energy profiles show that the methane molecules are either in contact or at separations corresponding to the diameter and the length of the cylindrical pore. Analytic calculations that estimate the entropy of the solutes, which are solvated at the pore surface, qualitatively explain the shape of the free energy profiles. Adding charges of opposite sign and magnitude $0.4e$ or $e$ (where $e$ is the electronic charge) to the methane molecules decreases their tendency for surface solvation and restores the SSM. We show that confinement induced ion-pair formation occurs whenever $l_B/D \sim O(1)$, where $l_B$ is the Bjerrum length, and $D$ is the pore diameter. The extent of stabilization of the SSM increases with ion charge density as long as $l_B/D < 1$. In pores with $D \le 1.2$ nm, in which the water is strongly layered, increasing the charge magnitude from $0.4e$ to $e$ reduces the stability of the SSM. As a result, ion-pair formation which occurs with negligible probability in the bulk, is promoted. In larger diameter pores that can accomodate a complete hydration layer around the solutes, the stability of the SSM is enhanced.

description: The Parton-Hadron-String Dynamics (PHSD) transport approach consistently simulates the full evolution of a relativistic heavy-ion collision from the initial hard scatterings string formation through the dynamical deconfinement phase transition to the quark gluon plasma (QGP), to the hadronization and to subsequent interactions in the hadronic phase. The transport theoretical description of quarks and gluons is based on a dynamical quasiparticle model for partons matched to reproduce recent lattice QCD results in thermodynamic equilibrium. The transition from partonic to hadronic degrees of freedom is described by covariant transition rates for the fusion of quark-antiquark pairs or three quarks (antiquarks). Studying Pb+Pb reactions from 40 to 158 A GeV, we find that at most 40% of the collision energy is stored in the dynamics of the partons. This implies that a large fraction of non-partonic, i.e. hadronic or string-like matter, which can be viewed as a hadronic corona, is present in these reactions, thus neither hadronic nor purely partonic models can be employed to extract physical conclusions in comparing model results with data. On the other hand, comparing the PHSD results to those of the Hadron-String Dynamics (HSD) approach without the phase transition to QGP, we observe that the existence of the partonic phase has a sizeable influence on the transverse mass distribution of final kaons due to the repulsive partonic mean fields and initial partonic scattering. Furthermore, we find a significant effect of the QGP on the production of multi-strange antibaryons due to a slightly enhanced s+sbar pair production in the partonic phase from massive time-like gluon decay and to a more abundant formation of strange antibaryons in the hadronization process.

description: Oplægget tager udgangspunkt i økonomisk teori og implementeringslitteratur og problematiserer den eksisterende balance mellem investeringer i cykelinfrastruktur og adfærdsfremmende politikker. Det tyder nemlig på, at man at allokere relativt flere midler til efterspørgselsfremmende politikker kan opnå en større målopfyldelse, end hvis man fortsætter den eksisterende model, hvor langt hovedparten af midlerne anvendes på at skabe mere infrastruktur.

Some aspects of the winter ecology of juvenile salmonids with reference to possible habitat alteration by logging in Carnation Creek, Vancouver Island

description: Juvenile coho, steelhead, and cutthroat trout commonly spend from one to three or more years in coastal streams before migrating to the sea. Much of this time is spent in streams during the winter, making a study of these fishes' winter habitat requirements, distribution, behavior, and the possible influences of stream habitat alteration on them a useful undertaking. Some physical characteristics of areas selected by juvenile coho and steelhead were observed by snorkeling in a small west coast of Vancouver Island stream between September 1972 and April 1973. Observations revealed that with lowering water temperatures from 9°C to 2°C coho and older steelhead tended to move into deeper water while most steelhead fry remained in shallow, marginal sections of the stream. As water temperatures dropped in the winter, juvenile fish fed less and moved closer to areas offering low water velocities and cover. Steelhead fry were most often found under rubble while coho and older steelhead were most often found within upturned roots and under logs. Results from fish traps located on the lower ends of two small tributary streams indicated that juvenile coho, steelhead and cutthroat trout moved upstream into these tributaries in the late fall. Overwinter survival of coho in one tributary was 3-6 times as great as the estimated survival of coho in the main stream. Together the two tributaries contributed between 15 and 25 per cent to the total coho smolt production of the larger system. A series of experiments comparing coho and cutthroat preference for alternative habitat types in sidepool areas as may occur before and after stream disturbance were carried out during the winter. Both coho and cutthroat demonstrated a strong preference for bay areas offering overhanging bank cover as opposed to bays without cover, and for bays offering clean rubble substrate as opposed to silted rubble substrate. The impacts of timber harvesting on overwintering fish as suggested by the results from the underwater observations, winter movements, and the sidepool experiments are discussed and management recommendations are made.

description: Past resident feedback to our Clinician Scientist Program indicated there is a need to create a new Clinician Scholar Program (CSP). Learning from psychiatry residents was helpful for the new CSP curriculum development to support developing clinician scholars in psychiatry. This project provided an insight on psychiatry residents’ perception of curricular needs and support for residents in the new CSP. The CSP is expected to best support education and training of psychiatry residents interested in education scholarship, quality improvement, medical humanities, social sciences, and creative professional activities.
Mesonic excitations and pi--pi scattering lengths at finite temperature in the two-flavor Polyakov--Nambu--Jona-Lasinio model

description: The mesonic excitations and s-wave pi--pi scattering lengths at finite temperature are studied in the two-flavor Polyakov--Nambu--Jona-Lasinio (PNJL) model. The masses of pi-meson and sigma-meson, pion-decay constant, the pion-quark coupling strength, and the scattering lengths $a_{0}$ and $a_{2}$ at finite temperature are calculated in the PNJL model with two forms of Polyakov-loop effective potential. The obtained results are almost independent of the choice of the effective potentials. The calculated results in the PNJL model are also compared with those in the conventional Nambu--Jona-Lasinio model and indicate that the effect of color confinement screens the effect of temperature below the critical one in the PNJL model. Furthermore, the Goldberger-Treiman relation and the Gell-Mann--Oakes--Renner relation are extended to the case at finite temperature in the PNJL model.

description: The Danish Road Directorate has long experience in planning for cycling and the use of bicycle data and indexes. A national cycling index, a bike-traffic-index, was established in 1985, based on bike-flows continuously counted in locations all over the country. The number of counting stations included in the index has been increased over time to improve reliability and allow support for the development and assessment of policies aiming to maintain and further increase cycling. The index is partly fed by the Road Directorate and partly by the municipalities. With its current 61 counting stations in operation, the bike- traffic-index is still ‘thin’ compared to the equivalent car-traffic index, but it does provide consistent evidence on changes in cycling on Danish roads. The paper compares the bike-traffic-index with travel- survey data as indicators of changes in cycling, it presents the methodology and accuracy of the bike-traffic- index, and finally, it discusses its desirable improvements to increase accuracy and detect changes in cycling beyond the fluctuations in weather conditions that are generally important to cycling but also beyond policy reach.
