description: A qualitative case study design was used to investigate the ways in which two early interventionists supported emergent literacy development for infants and toddlers with visual impairment. Three themes are addressed: (1) the importance of a family-centered approach in addressing emergent literacy in early intervention; (2) the role of the early interventionist in language and concept development; and (3) the need to focus on the senses as they relate to literacy. The findings provide practical insights into the role of the early interventionist in supporting early literacy development.

description: Energy management in power grids becomes essential to reduce the cost for the consumer and improve the power supply reliability. The microgrid is a vital part of the smart grid and it requires intelligent power management approach for effective functioning. Presently, delivering demand load and sustaining energy are two major challenges that exist in the power system. To resolve these problems, short-term load forecasting (STLF) models have been presented as an effective management and energy supply mode in power systems. The recently developed deep learning (DL) and machine learning (ML) models can be employed for accurate STLF in microgrids. In this view, this study presents an intelligent wild geese algorithm with deep learning driven short term load forecasting (IWGADL-STLF) model for sustainable energy management in microgrids. The proposed IWGADL-STLF model intends to accurately and rapidly predict the STLF in the microgrids. To accomplish this, the IWGADL-STLF model uses attention based Bi-directional long short term memory (ABiLSTM) model which involves the input parameters as formation of household and commercial load profiles with commercial load profile of the microgrid as output. The proposed IWGADL-STLF model identifies the behavioural patterns of parameters and models the behaviour in short time period for effective prediction process. Since hyperparameters play a vital role in the DL models, in this study, WGA is applied as a hyperparameter optimizer of the ABiLSTM model. The IWGADL-STLF approach has shown effective results with low MAE, MAPE, and R2 values. A comprehensive experimental analysis reported the enhanced performance of the presented model over the other existing approaches under several aspects.
Spectroscopic study of red giants in the Kepler field with asteroseismologically established evolutionary status and stellar parameters

description: Thanks to the recent very high-precision photometry of red giants from satellites such as Kepler, precise mass and radius values as well as accurate information of evolutionary stages are already established by asteroseismic approach for a large number of G-K giants. Based on the high-dispersion spectra of selected such 55 red giants in the Kepler field with precisely known seismic parameters (among which parallaxes are available for 9 stars), we checked the accuracy of the determination method of stellar parameters previously applied to many red giants by Takeda et al. (2008, PASJ, 60, 781), since it may be possible to discriminate their complex evolutionary status by using the surface gravity vs. mass diagram. We confirmed that our spectroscopic gravity and the seismic gravity satisfactorily agree with each other (to within ~0.1 dex) without any systematic difference. However, the mass values of He-burning red clump giants derived from stellar evolutionary tracks (~2-3 Msun) were found to be markedly larger by ~50% compared to the seismic values (~1-2 Msun) though such discrepancy is not seen for normal giants in the H-burning phase, which reflects the difficulty of mass determination from intricately overlapping tracks on the luminosity vs. effective temperature diagram. This consequence implies that the mass results of many red giants in the clump region determined by Takeda et al. (2008) are likely to be significantly overestimated. We also compare our spectroscopically established parameters with recent literature values, and further discuss the prospect of distinguishing the evolutionary status of red giants based on the conventional (i.e., non-seismic) approach.

description: Olivetti's “practical utopia” is conceived as a concrete community based on fraternity, physical proximity and interaction between subjects, partly derived, as the avoidance of conflicts between capitalism and individual freedom from the social doctrine of the Church. Olivetti’s utopia, however, did not possess sufficient theoretical support. His federalist idea was in fact incompatible with the reconstruction of the state, and his individualist orientation did not go beyond moral and evangelical appeals. They both were insufficient to generate change.

description: Sex allocation theory predicts that when sons and daughters have different reproductive values, parents should adjust offspring sex ratio towards the sex with the higher fitness return. Haplo-diploid species directly control offspring sex ratio, but species with chromosomal sex determination (CSD) were presumed to be constrained by Mendelian segregation. There is now increasing evidence that CSD species can adjust sex ratio strategically, but the underlying mechanism is not well understood. One hypothesis states that adaptive control is more likely to evolve in the heterogametic sex through a bias in gamete production. We investigated this hypothesis in males as the heterogametic sex in two social spider species that consistently show adaptive female-biased sex ratio and in one subsocial species that is characterized by equal sex ratio. We quantified the production of male (0) and female (X) determining sperm cells using flow cytometry, and show that males of social species produce significantly more X-carrying sperm than 0-sperm, on average 70%. This is consistent with the production of more daughters. Males of the subsocial species produced a significantly lower bias of 54% X-carrying sperm. We also investigated whether inter-genomic conflict between hosts and their endosymbionts may explain female bias. Next generation sequencing showed that five common genera of bacterial endosymbionts known to affect sex ratio are largely absent, ruling out that endosymbiont bacteria bias sex ratio in social spiders. Our study provides evidence for paternal control over sex allocation through biased gamete production as a mechanism by which the heterogametic sex in CSD species adaptively adjust offspring sex ratio.
Non-linear explosion tremor at Sangay, Volcano, Ecuador

description: A detailed analysis of discrete degassing pulses, chugs, at Sangay volcano, was performed on seismic and infrasonic records to determine the physics of the conduit. Infrasonic chugging signals appear as repetitive pulses with small variations in amplitude and time lag. An automated time-domain analysis was developed to measure with high precision time intervals and amplitudes at different wave arrivals, reducing the possibility error associated with hand picking. Using this automated method, a strong positive correlation of acoustic amplitude with repose time between individual pulses on chugging signals of Sangay was found on numerous oscillating sequences. Frequency gliding of apparent harmonic frequencies generally trends from high to low frequency at Sangay, in contrast to trends at Karymsky Volcano, Russia. A new description of chugging events using wavelet transform methods, appropriate for non-stationary signals, shows subtle changes in the waveforms relate to physical processes in the volcano. A system of non-linear feedback, based on choked flow at the vent, is postulated as the most likely source of this volcanic tremor.
A Comparison of Aerosol Performance Using Standardized Entrainment Tubes vs. Dry Powder Inhaler Devices

description: This paper reviews scientific understandings relevant to the dry powder inhaler (DPI) development including turbulent airflow characteristics in the inhaler, microparticle entrainment and deaggregation within the airflow and device. Using standardized entrainment tubes (SETs) and powder aerosol deaggregation equation (PADE), the aerosol performance profile in a shear stress range defined by SETs can be predicted. However, such predictions are based on the hypothesis that the shear stresses characterized from SETs are readily translatable to those of the DPIs’. Two selected model DPIs (Rotahaler and Aerolizer) with either gelatin or HPMC capsules were used to evaluate the FPF at the DPI shear stresses. The performance result using DPIs was close to the predicted FPF using SETs and PADE method. The application of SETs and PADE method can be used for performance prediction of these DPIs.

The carbon balance of trees
Creators: name: Thompson, Robert Alexander
Publisher: name: Washington State University
Year: 2023

description: The flux of carbon in trees is integral to their functioning; nearly every physiological process requires energy that is ultimately derived from carbon. Yet, a central question is how the carbon balance of trees is impacted during disturbance, particularly drought. To evaluate tree carbon dynamics during drought I leverage experimental and computational approaches to disentangle underlying patterns and processes. I begin with an ecosystem scale field experiment and demonstrate a coupling between photosynthesis and growth that portends the depletion of carbon reserves in a semi-arid conifer. Using a separate ecosystem drought experiment, I attribute carbon stores to the de novo synthesis of defenses in Pinus edulis. I demonstrate how carbon reserves alone cannot support a sufficient defense response in this species. I then use the biochemical network of plant carbon metabolism to derive a neutral theory of plant carbon flux dynamics. Neutral theory suggests that random flux dynamics can explain variation in carbon pool sizes often observed in the literature. Most importantly, it highlights that allocation to carbon reserves is the most probable event, regardless of its functional role in tree survival. Finally, I discuss recent work that incorporates dynamical systems theory with the carbon reserve formation in trees and how it can improve models of ecosystem carbon flux.

Unintended consequences of child care regulations
Creators: name: Blau, David M.
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2007

description: The effects of regulations governing staff-child ratio, group size, and staff qualifications in child care centers are estimated, using data on a sample of centers. The data contain measures of staff characteristics and wages, price of the service, and the developmental quality of the child care provided. Regulations vary across states, but may be endogenous to these outcomes. Estimates with state fixed effects are feasible because regulations vary within states by age group of children and job title of staff. Estimates with state fixed effects show that tougher regulations have some impact on input use, but have little or no impact on price and quality. The most striking finding is that tougher regulations reduce staff wages, suggesting that the incidence of child care regulations is on employees of day care centers.

description: China is experiencing rapid progress in industrialization, with its own rationale towards industrial land development based on a deliberate change from an extensive to intensive form of urban land use. One result has been concerted attempts by local government to attract foreign investment by a low industrial land price strategy, which has resulted in a disproportionally large amount of industrial land within the total urban land use structure at the expense of the urban sprawl of many cities. This paper first examines “Comparable Benchmark Price as Residential land use” (CBPR) as the theoretical basis of the low industrial land price phenomenon. Empirical findings are presented from a case study based on data from Jinyun County, China. These data are analyzed to reveal the rationale of industrial land price from 2000 to 2010 concerning the CBPR model. We then explore the causes of low industrial land prices in the form of a “Centipede Game Model”, involving two neighborhood regions as “major players” to make a set of moves (or strategies). When one of the players unilaterally reduces the land price to attract investment with the aim to maximize profits arising from the revenues generated from foreign investment and land premiums, a two-player price war begins in the form of a dynamic game, the effect of which is to produce a downward spiral of prices. In this context, the paradox of maximizing profits for each of the two players are not accomplished due to the inter-regional competition of attracted investment leading to a lose-lose situation for both sides’ in competing for land premium revenues. A short-term solution to the problem is offered involving the establishment of inter-regional cooperative partnerships. For the longer term, however, a comprehensive reform of the local financial system, more adroit regional planning and an improved means of evaluating government performance is needed to ensure the government’s role in securing pubic goods is not abandoned in favor of one solely concerned with revenue generation.

Consequences of Kinetic Dispersion on the Electrochemistry of an Adsorbed Redox-Active Monolayer

description: Mixed monolayers of (ferrocenylcarboxy)-alkanethiol/n-alkanethiol have been investigated electrochemically in 2:1 (v:v) chloroethane:butyronitrile solvent in the temperature range of 120K to 150K. Cyclic voltammetry of these monolayers shows large oxidation-reduction peak potential separations indicative of electron transfer rate control. The voltammetric waveshapes are also broadened; this and curved log[i] vs. time transients observed in potential step experiments are interpreted as a dispersion in the reaction rates of the ferrocene sites. This paper considers origins and three models for such kinetic dispersion: (i) Using simulations, the observed kinetic dispersion effects can be successfully represented by a Gaussian distribution among the formal potentials E0' of the surface redox sites. While only an apparent kinetic dispersion (having a thermodynamic origin), we show by simulations that its presence affects potential step log[kAPP,] vs. tj plots, depressing the apparent reorganizational barrier energies (X) and elevating the apparent rate constants (k°), consistent with previous experimental observations. Similarly, cyclic voltammetric simulations with a Gaussian E0' distribution give excellent fits to experimental voltammograms with mid-point average rates (that with voltammograms can be simulated to fit both the experimental waveshape and AEPEAK) that are roughly 6-fold smaller than the average rate (determined from a fit to the experimental AEPEAK assuming a homogeneous population). The temperature and chain length dependence of simulations are also consistent with experimental observations and indicate that the dispersion has little effect on accurate determination of X (from an activation analysis) or ß (from a plot of log(k°) vs. chain length), (ii) A Gaussian distribution of reorganizational energies, which is a real kinetic dispersion, has consequences on the appearance and the analysis of data quantitatively equivalent to those of a distribution of formal potentials, (iii) A kinetic dispersion model based on a Gaussian distribution of tunneling distances (or equivalently electronic coupling parameter) from the electrode surface is also evaluated. This model predicts curved potential step log[i] vs. time plots, and in analysis of log[kApPl)] vs. η plots, undistorted results for X but alteration of the apparent k°.

description: Evolution in the measured rest frame ultraviolet spectral slope and ultraviolet to optical flux ratios indicate a rapid evolution in the dust obscuration of galaxies during the first 3 billion years of cosmic time (z>4). This evolution implies a change in the average interstellar medium properties, but the measurements are systematically uncertain due to untested assumptions, and the inability to measure heavily obscured regions of the galaxies. Previous attempts to directly measure the interstellar medium in normal galaxies at these redshifts have failed for a number of reasons with one notable exception. Here we report measurements of the [CII] gas and dust emission in 9 typical (~1-4L*) star-forming galaxies ~1 billon years after the big bang (z~5-6). We find these galaxies have >12x less thermal emission compared with similar systems ~2 billion years later, and enhanced [CII] emission relative to the far-infrared continuum, confirming a strong evolution in the interstellar medium properties in the early universe. The gas is distributed over scales of 1-8 kpc, and shows diverse dynamics within the sample. These results are consistent with early galaxies having significantly less dust than typical galaxies seen at z<3 and being comparable to local low-metallicity systems.

description: A dodecagonal quasicrystal showing 12-fold symmetry forms in Mn-rich quaternary alloys containing 5.5 or 7.5 at.% Cr, 5.0 at.% Ni and 17.5 at.% Si. After annealing at 700 C for 130 h, the quasicrystal precipitated in a matrix of \b{eta}-Mn type crystalline phase. The shape of the quasicrystal is needle-like having a length of several tens of micrometers. Electron diffraction as well as powder X-ray diffraction experiments have revealed the following characteristics of the quasicrystal; diffraction symmetry 12/mmm, presence of systematic extinction for h1h2h2h1h5 type reflections with odd h5 index, and then five-dimensional space group P126/mmc. Indexing of the reflections indicated that the dimension of the common edge in the equilateral triangle-square tiling is 4.560 Å, and the periodicity is 4.626 Å along the 12-fold axis. This is the first example of the dodecagonal quasicrystal synthesized by ordinary metallurgical method in 3-d transition-metal alloys.

Logic and conversation revisited: Evidence for a division between semantic and pragmatic content in real-time language comprehension

description: The distinction between semantics (linguistically-encoded meaning) and pragmatics (inferences about communicative intentions) can often be unclear and counter-intuitive. For example, linguistic theories argue that the meaning of some encompasses the meaning of all while the intuition that some implies not all results from an inference. We explored how online interpretation of some evolves using an eye-tracking while listening paradigm. Early eyemovements indicated that while some was initially interpreted as compatible with all, participants began excluding referents compatible with all approximately 800ms later. These results contrast with recent evidence of immediate inferencing and highlight the presence of bottom-up semantic-pragmatic interactions which necessarily rely on initial access to lexical meanings to trigger inferences.
Synthesis of biodiesel from castor oil catalyzed by sodium hydroxide dispersed on bentonite

Subjects: Environmental engineering not elsewhere classified

description: The present study describes the production of biodiesel from castor plant (Riccinus communis) using heterogeneous base catalyst of NaOH dispersed on bentonite. The catalysts were prepared via wet impregnation by loading a known amount of NaOH on natural bentonite in various NaOH-to-bentonite ratios of 5 %, 10 %, 20 %, and 25 % (w/w). The prepared catalysts were characterized by AAS, FTIR, XRD, GSA, and SEM; and further used in a transesterification reaction at 60 °C for 4 h. The liquid yields were analyzed by FTIR and GC–MS, 1H NMR, and ASTM. The modification of a larger concentration of NaOH led to decreasing the mineral structure of natural bentonite. The homogeneous distribution of NaOH on bentonite influenced the increasing pore size of catalyst compared to natural bentonite. The enhanced physicochemical properties significantly increased the catalytic activity. The transesterification reaction of castor oil into biodiesel over 25 % NaOH/bentonite catalyst showed the highest conversion of 76.94 % biodiesel yield. The obtained biodiesel properties was agreed with the ASTM standard specifications.

Slurs and lexical presumption
Creators: name: Lycan, William G.
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2015

description: Grice's cryptic notion of “conventional implicature” has been developed in a number of different ways. This paper deploys the simplest version, Lycan's (1984) notion of “lexical presumption,” and argues that slurs and other pejorative expressions have normal truth-conditional content plus the most obvious extra implicatures. The paper then addresses and rebuts objections to “conventional implicature” accounts that have been made in the literature, particularly those which focus on non-offensive uses of slurs.

description: We review a systematic practical implementation of the multiple scattering formalism due to Balian and Duplantier [R. Balian and B. Duplantier, Ann. Phys. (NY) \textbf{104}, 300 (1977); \textbf{112}, 165 (1978)] for the calculation of the Casimir interaction between arbitrarily shaped smooth conductors. The leading two-point scattering term of the expansion has a simple compact form, amenable to exact or accurate numerical evaluation. It is a general expression which improves upon the proximity force and pairwise summation approximations. We show that for many geometries it captures the bulk of the interaction effect. The inclusion of terms beyond the two-point approximation provides an accuracy check and explains screening. As an illustration of the power and versatility of the method we re-evaluate sphere-sphere and sphere-plane interactions and compared the results with previous findings that employed different methods. We also compute for the first time interaction of a hyperboloid (mimicking an atomic force microscope tip) and a plane. We also analyze the anomalous situations involving long cylindrical conductors where the two-point scattering approximation fails qualitatively. In such cases analytic summation of the entire scattering series is carried out and a topological argument is put forward as an explanation of the result. We give the extension of this theory to the case of finite temperatures where the two-point scattering approximation result has a simple compact form, also amenable to exact or accurate numerical evaluation.

Dominican Party System Continuity amid Regional Transformations: Economic Policy, Clientelism, and Migration Flows

description: In the 1980s and 1990s, economic crisis produced ideological convergence in many Latin American party systems. Much scholarship explores how this convergence frequently provoked system change that enabled renewed ideological differentiation, but little research examines instances where convergence has persisted without destabilizing the system. Through comparative historical analysis of Dominican continuity amid regional change, we identify factors that sustain or challenge party systems. Then through analysis of Americas Barometer surveys, we assess the causal mechanisms through which these factors shape public support for the traditional Dominican parties. We demonstrate that maintaining programmatic and clientelist linkages facilitates system continuity. In addition, we argue that the threats political outsiders pose to existing party systems are constrained when people excluded from the system are divided and demobilized. In the Dominican case, Haitian immigration divides the popular sector while Dominicans abroad sustain ties to the parties, with both migration flows facilitating party system continuity.

description: Patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) treated with tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) inevitably exhibit drug resistance, which diminishes therapeutic effects. Nonetheless, the molecular mechanisms of TKI resistance in NSCLC remain obscure. In this study, data from clinical and TCGA databases revealed an increase in DNMT3A expression, which was correlated with a poor prognosis. Using NSCLC organoid models, we observed that high DNMT3A levels reduced TKI susceptibility of NSCLC cells via upregulating inhibitor of apoptosis proteins (IAPs). Simultaneously, the DNMT3Ahigh subset, which escaped apoptosis, underwent an early senescent-like state in a CDKN1A-dependent manner. Furthermore, the cellular senescence induced by TKIs was observed to be reversible, whereas DNMT3Ahigh cells reacquired their proliferative characteristics in the absence of TKIs, resulting in subsequent tumour recurrence and growth. Notably, the blockade of DNMT3A/IAPs signals enhanced the efficacy of TKIs in DNMT3Ahigh tumour-bearing mice, which represented a promising strategy for the effective treatment of NSCLC.
