description: In the present study, personal exposure to fine particulate matter (particulate matter with an aerodynamic diameter <2.5 μm [PM2.5]) concentrations in an urban hotspot (central business district [CBD]) was investigated. The PM monitoring campaigns were carried out at an urban hotspot from June to October 2015. The personal exposure monitoring was performed during three different time periods, i.e., morning (8 a.m.−9 a.m.), afternoon (12.30 p.m.–1.30 p.m.), and evening (4 p.m.–5 p.m.), to cover both the peak and lean hour activities of the CBD. The median PM2.5 concentrations were 38.1, 34.9, and 40.4 µg/m3 during the morning, afternoon, and evening hours on the weekends. During weekdays, the median PM2.5 concentrations were 59.5, 29.6, and 36.6 µg/m3 in the morning, afternoon, and evening hours, respectively. It was observed that the combined effect of traffic emissions, complex land use, and micrometeorological conditions created localized air pollution hotspots. Furthermore, the total PM2.5 lung dose levels for an exposure duration of 1 hr were 8.7 ± 5.7 and 12.3 ± 5.2 µg at CBD during weekends and weekdays, respectively, as compared with 2.5 ± 0.8 µg at the urban background (UB). This study emphasizes the need for mobile measurement for short-term personal exposure assessment complementing the fixed air quality monitoring. Implications: Personal exposure monitoring at an urban hotspot indicated space and time variation in PM concentrations that is not captured by the fixed air quality monitoring networks. The short-term exposure to higher concentrations can have a significant impact on health that need to be considered for the health risk–based air quality management. The study emphasizes the need of hotspot-based monitoring complementing the already existing fixed air quality monitoring in urban areas. The personal exposure patterns at hotspots can provide additional insight into sustainable urban planning.

description: Electric-field noise from the surfaces of ion-trap electrodes couples to the ion's charge causing heating of the ion's motional modes. This heating limits the fidelity of quantum gates implemented in quantum information processing experiments. The exact mechanism that gives rise to electric-field noise from surfaces is not well-understood and remains an active area of research. In this work, we detail experiments intended to measure ion motional heating rates with exchangeable surfaces positioned in close proximity to the ion, as a sensor to electric-field noise. We have prepared samples with various surface conditions, characterized in situ with scanned probe microscopy and electron spectroscopy, ranging in degrees of cleanliness and structural order. The heating-rate data, however, show no significant differences between the disparate surfaces that were probed. These results suggest that the driving mechanism for electric-field noise from surfaces is due to more than just thermal excitations alone.

description: We investigate the shifts of the core-level binding energies in small gold nanoclusters by using {\it ab initio} density functional theory calculations. The shift of the 4$f$ states is calculated for magic number nanoclusters in a wide range of sizes and morphologies. We find a non-monotonous behavior of the core-level shift in nanoclusters depending on the size. We demonstrate that there are three main contributions to the Au 4$f$ shifts, which depend sensitively on the interatomic distances, coordination and quantum confinement. They are identified and explained by the change of the on-site electrostatic potential.

description: L'ensemble de ces notes ont été crée par John Baldwin lors d'une de ses premières périodes de résidence à Paris. Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.
Les données ainsi que les images des fiches sont accessibles sur le site Internet à l'adresse suivante : http://studium-baldwin.lamop.fr/.
Les transcriptions des fiches ont été effectuées par des étudiants de Paris 1 Panthéon - Sorbonne mais elles n'ont pas été corrigées par la suite.

description: Manure-based soil amendments (herein “amendments”) are important fertility sources, but differences among amendment types and management can significantly affect their nutrient value and environmental impacts. A 6-month in situ decomposition experiment was conducted to determine how protection from wintertime rainfall affected nutrient losses and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in poultry (broiler chicken and turkey) and horse amendments. Changes in total nutrient concentration were measured every 3 months, changes in ammonium (NH4+) and nitrate (NO3−) concentrations every month, and GHG emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), and nitrous oxide (N2O) every 7–14 days. Poultry amendments maintained higher nutrient concentrations (except for K), higher emissions of CO2 and N2O, and lower CH4 emissions than horse amendments. Exposing amendments to rainfall increased total N and NH4+ losses in poultry amendments, P losses in turkey and horse amendments, and K losses and cumulative N2O emissions for all amendments. However, it did not affect CO2 or CH4 emissions. Overall, rainfall exposure would decrease total N inputs by 37% (horse), 59% (broiler chicken), or 74% (turkey) for a given application rate (wet weight basis) after 6 months of decomposition, with similar losses for NH4+ (69–96%), P (41–73%), and K (91–97%). This study confirms the benefits of facilities protected from rainfall to reduce nutrient losses and GHG emissions during amendment decomposition. Implications: The impact of rainfall protection on nutrient losses and GHG emissions was monitored during the decomposition of broiler chicken, turkey, and horse manure-based soil amendments. Amendments exposed to rainfall had large ammonium and potassium losses, resulting in a 37–74% decrease in N inputs when compared with amendments protected from rainfall. Nitrous oxide emissions were also higher with rainfall exposure, although it had no effect on carbon dioxide and methane emissions. Overall, this work highlights the benefits of rainfall protection during amendment decomposition to reduce nutrient losses and GHG emissions.

description: The strange-quark occupation factor ($γ_s$) is determined from the statistical fit of the multiplicity ratio $\mathrm{K}^+/π^+$ in a wide range of nucleon-nucleon center-of-mass energies ($\sqrt{s_{NN}}$). From this single-strange-quark-subsystem, $γ_s(\sqrt{s_{NN}})$ was parametrized as a damped trigonometric functionality and successfully implemented to the hadron resonance gas model, at chemical semi-equilibrium. Various particle ratios including $\mathrm{K}^-/π^-$, $\mathrmΛ/π^-$, and $\mathrm{\barΛ}/π^-$ are well reproduced. The phenomenology of $γ_s(\sqrt{s_{NN}})$ suggests that, the hadrons ($γ_s$ raises) at $\sqrt{s_{NN}} \simeq 7~$GeV seems to undergo a phase transition to a mixed phase ($γ_s$ declines), which is then derived into partons ($γ_s$ remains unchanged with increasing $\sqrt{s_{NN}}$), at $\sqrt{s_{NN}} \simeq 20~$GeV.

description: The increasing amount of food waste generated as a direct consequence of its excessive production, mismanagement, and wasteful behaviors represents a real challenge in promoting resource efficiency. In the United Kingdom (UK), the lack of robust mass flow data hinders the ability both to understand and address food waste challenges and to devise long-term sustainable prevention strategies. In recognition of these challenges, this paper seeks to (i) provide insights into the UK’s annual estimates of food mass flows, including imports, exports, distribution, consumption, surplus food production, and final disposal; and (ii) scrutinize the uptake and redistribution of surplus food as a potential food waste prevention strategy. Evidence collected from several enterprises and community-led initiatives in the UK, and London specifically, supports that there is an increasing potential of making a shift towards food redistribution and reuse. Further analysis has shown that the outreach of food redistribution initiatives in the UK is currently limited, possibly because redistribution efforts remain largely fragmented and independent from each other. It is concluded that a national commitment could be instrumental in encouraging the roll-out of this practice, and governmental support through fiscal incentives could lead to the development of a larger and coherent surplus food redistribution system, ultimately enabling food waste prevention and recovery of food’s multidimensional value. Implications: This paper deals with the topical issue of the increasing amount of food waste generated as a direct consequence of excessive production, mismanagement, and wasteful behavior, representing a real challenge in achieving sustainability and resource efficiency. Currently, only a small fraction of food is redistributed back into the system. Yet, a considerable fraction of food waste generated is edible; thus, better planning, storage, and coordination amongst the different stakeholders in the food supply chain is required in order to prevent its wastage and promote its reuse in accordance with the waste hierarchy.

description: Boulders are an important coastal hazard event deposit because they can only be moved by tsunamis and storms. However, storms and tsunami are competing processes for coastal change along many shorelines. Therefore, distinguishing the boulders that were moved during a storm from those moved by a tsunami is important. In this contribution, we present the results of a parameter study based on the TRIADS model coupled with a boulder dislodgement model that is based on Newton's Second Law of Motion. The results show how smaller slopes expose the waves longer to the nonlinear processes that cause the transformation of energy into the infragravity wave band causing largerboulders to be dislodged more often than on steeper slopes.

A mere equestrian?: Sejanus and the succession to Tiberius in its Augustan context
Creators: name: Jones, Timothy M.
Publisher: name: Macquarie University
Year: 2022
Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: The issue of succession in the Roman Empire has long drawn scholarly attention. Since succession was anathema to Roman political sensibilities, Augustus was forced to take an indirect approach to perpetuating his regime, indicating potential candidates rather than designating them directly. This requisite subtlety introduced great instability into the heart of the principate, since succession was at once necessary and impossible. The position of leading political deputy was thus defined, as Augustus’ own position was, by legal, rather than hereditary, mechanisms. This definition of the position of princeps ironically widened the pool of potential successors, since it was the powers, rather than family connections, that defined the candidates. Even if Augustus used family connections, including marriage and adoption, to indicate potential successors, these connections did not, in and of themselves, allow a man to succeed. Detailed discussion of the legal powers granted to potential successors, as well as marriage and adoption, will lead to the definition of the ‘mechanics of succession’, that is, the means by which Augustus and then Tiberius attempted to perpetuate their regimes. These mechanics will then be applied to the career of Lucius Aelius Sejanus, prefect of the praetorian guard under Tiberius, to determine whether Sejanus was ever in a position to succeed as princeps. This approach deviates from the standard view that Sejanus, due to his equestrian status, was never a potential successor to Tiberius. If potential successors are defined in terms of the mechanics of succession, and Sejanus was granted parallel privileges, the issue of him as Tiberius’ successor is worthy of re-examination.

description: ImageJ is a graphical user interface (GUI) driven, public domain, Java-based, software package for general image processing traditionally used mainly in life sciences fields. The image processing capabilities of ImageJ are useful and extendable to other scientific fields. Here we present AstroImageJ (AIJ), which provides an astronomy specific image display environment and tools for astronomy specific image calibration and data reduction. Although AIJ maintains the general purpose image processing capabilities of ImageJ, AIJ is streamlined for time-series differential photometry, light curve detrending and fitting, and light curve plotting, especially for applications requiring ultra-precise light curves (e.g., exoplanet transits). AIJ reads and writes standard FITS files, as well as other common image formats, provides FITS header viewing and editing, and is World Coordinate System (WCS) aware, including an automated interface to the astrometry.net web portal for plate solving images. AIJ provides research grade image calibration and analysis tools with a GUI driven approach, and easily installed cross-platform compatibility. It enables new users, even at the level of undergraduate student, high school student, or amateur astronomer, to quickly start processing, modeling, and plotting astronomical image data with one tightly integrated software package.

description: A nanofiber was obtained by electrospinning of “dialdehyde cellulose” (periodate-oxidized cellulose, DAC) and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), using only water as the solvent. Celluloses of four different origins were fully oxidized with sodium periodate to water-soluble DAC. Aqueous solution of DAC showed inadequate spinnability regardless of the polymer concentration and the electrospinning conditions used. Addition of PVA improved the solution's viscoelasticity and, consequently, the solution's spinnability. We examined the effects of DAC/PVA composition and electrospinning parameters on fiber morphology. Highly homogeneous nanofibers were prepared from 1:1 up to 2:1 (weight) DAC/PVA blends while samples of lower viscosity or higher relative DAC contents resulted in continuous, beaded fiber networks. Characterization of the electrospun fabrics revealed a highly crosslinked DAC structure reinforced with PVA, strongly interacting through hemiacetal bonds and hydrogen bonding. Fluorescence labeling confirmed the presence of reactive aldehyde functionalities in the electrospun web. The versatile properties of DAC as reactive material can now be imparted on electrospun fiber and nanofiber material – which was not possible so far –further widening the application scope of this interesting cellulose derivative.

description: The power of robotic telescopes to transform science education has been voiced by multiple sources, since the 1980s. Since then, much technical progress has been made in robotic telescope provision to end users via a variety of different approaches. The educational transformation hoped for by the provision of this technology has, so far, yet to be achieved on a scale matching the technical advancements. In this paper, the history, definition, role and rationale of optical robotic telescopes with a focus on their use in education is provided. The current telescope access providers and educational projects and their broad uses in traditional schooling, undergraduate and outreach are then outlined. From this background, the current challenges to the field, which are numerous, are then presented. This review is concluded with a series of recommendations for current and future projects that are apparent and have emerged from the literature.

description: Humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae) migrating along the east coast of Australia are exposed to a multitude of anthropogenic activities. We investigated the effects of two types of activities migrating humpback whales are exposed to within the whale migratory corridor off Sydney; (1) fisheries mitigation and (2) underwater construction. Observational and spatial data were collected during the 2008 and 2013 northern migration off Sydney. Whale surface behaviour and directionality was compared between presence and absence of two types of ‘whale’ alarm (3kHz Future Oceans F3™ tone or 2-2.1kHz swept tone) and secondly in the presence or absence of underwater construction. A total of 254 tracks (146 in 2008, 108 in 2013) were collected using a theodolite. There was no detectable response to the whale alarm. Pods did not differ in directionality or surfacing behaviour whether the alarm was on or off.Whales exhibited no response to construction activities in 2008 (days with/without construction) and were no different five years post construction except that dive duration was longer in 2013. This study points to inadequacies in using acoustic alarms as a mitigation measure and is the first to assess the effects of actual underwater construction on thebehaviour of migrating humpback whales.

description: Purpose: To explore ocular cyclorotation and the source of corneal axial misalignment during femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery (FLACS). Methods: Forty-five sequential patients (50 eyes) who had undergone FLACS (LenSx Laser System, Alcon Inc) were recruited. We took screenshots from videos of FLACS to analyze ocular cyclorotation and the real angle between primary incision and secondary incision (RAPS). In addition, crystalline lens tilt and theoretic angle between the primary and secondary incisions (TAPS) was also calculated. Results: The mean absolute value of ocular cyclorotation was 8.03 ± 4.48 degrees (0–19.1 degrees). The crystalline lens tilt was 3.30 ± 1.44 degrees (0.93–6.44 degrees). And the mean preoperative uncorrected visual acuity was 0.89 ± 0.50 LogMAR units. Pearson bivariate correlation analysis showed significant positive correlation between ocular cyclorotation with crystalline lens tilt (r = 0.37, p = .008), and ocular cyclorotation negatively correlated with axial length (r = −0.29, p = .038). In addition, the TAPS was 89.78 ± 1.45 degrees, and the RAPS was 85.68 ± 2.04 degrees. The angle error was 4.11 ± 1.28 degrees (p<0.001). Conclusions: Ocular cyclorotation commonly occurred during FLACS. In addition, increased axial length was associated with less ocular cyclorotation and increased crystalline lens tilt was related to more ocular cyclorotation. Importantly, machinery systemic errors during corneal astigmatism correction by arcuate incision in FLACS should be taken into consideration.

Modulus stabilization in a non-flat warped braneworld scenario

description: The stability of the modular field in a warped brane world scenario has been a subject of interest for a long time. Goldberger \& Wise ( GW ) proposed a mechanism to achieve this by invoking a massive scalar field in the bulk space-time neglecting the back-reaction. In this work, we examine the possibility of stabilizing the modulus without bringing in any external scalar field. We show that instead of flat 3-branes as considered in Randall-Sundrum ( RS ) warped braneworld model, if one considers a more generalized version of warped geometry with de-Sitter 3-brane, then the brane vacuum energy automatically leads to a modulus potential with a metastable minimum. Our result further reveals that in this scenario the gauge hierarchy problem can also be resolved for appropriate choice of brane cosmological constant.

Beyond the Kinetic Chain Process in a Stroke using a Triple Pendulum Model
Creators: name: Youn, Sun-Hyun
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2016
Subjects: subject: Classical Physics (physics.class-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The efficient way to transfer input potential energy to the kinetic energy of a racket or bat was analyzed by two coupled harmonic triple pendulums. We find the most efficient way to transfer energy based on the kinetic chain process. Using control parameters, such as the release times, lengths and masses of the triple pendulum, we optimize the kinetic chain process. We also introduce a new method to get an efficient way to transfer initial energy to the kinetic energy of the third rod in the triple pendulum without time delay, which is considered an essential part of a kinetic chain process.

Toward an inclusive gifted spectrum: attachment, maternal depression, and identification of gifted children
Creators: name: Wellisch, Mimi
Publisher: name: Macquarie University
Year: 2022
Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: This thesis by publication is presented in three parts. Part I provides the theoretical background to the thesis. The main research questions—whether there are associations between giftedness and attachment, and giftedness and maternal depression, and if so, what implications there are for the identification of gifted children—are explored through analysis of associated interdisciplinary literature. A part empirical, part conceptual, picture is sketched of possible associations between attachment, maternal depression, and giftedness. A proposal is made for a gifted spectrum, inclusive of children unable to fully display their ability because of learning disorders or emotional and behavioural difficulties, perhaps associated with attachment and maternal depression. Part II contains two exploratory studies. Associations between attachment, maternal depression, and giftedness were explored in a quantitative study with 80 children aged 7 to 10 years and their parents. Although the findings were not significant, there was a trend indicating an increased likelihood for gifted children to be securely attached. A follow-up qualitative study consisted of interviews with 11 mothers of gifted children. The interviews indicated that these children tended to be misunderstood by mothers due to their differentness, especially if mothers had reported maternal depression. Misunderstandings were then more likely with peers, were also experienced through inappropriate educational provisions, and these misunderstood children were more likely to have internalising problems. In Part III, Gagné’s gifted model, referenced and implemented by Australian education departments, is analysed and critiqued in relation to its limited application to gifted underachieving children. A proposed new model, the inclusive gifted identification and progression model, is then introduced. The model sets out pathways for all gifted children, including those with learning and other disorders. Parts I and II are drawn on in the last chapter to inform the discussion on educational implications, limitations, including those in the studies, and recommendations for future research.

description: In this Letter we explore the potential of probing new light force-carriers, with spin-independent couplings to the electron and the neutron, using precision isotope shift spectroscopy. We develop a formalism to interpret linear King plots as bounds on new physics with minimal theory inputs. We focus only on bounding the new physics contributions that can be calculated independently of the Standard Model nuclear effects. We apply our method to existing Ca+ data and project its sensitivity to possibly existing new bosons using narrow transitions in other atoms and ions (specifically, Sr and Yb). Future measurements are expected to improve the relative precision by five orders of magnitude, and can potentially lead to an unprecedented sensitivity for bosons within the 10 keV to 10 MeV mass range.

description: Sirtuin1 (SIRT1) has recently emerged as a pivotal regulator of glucose metabolism and insulin sensitivity. However, the underlying mechanism has not been fully elucidated. In this study, we investigated the role of SIRT1 in the development of obesity and insulin resistance by generating mice with adipose-specific ablation of Sirt1 (Ad-Sirt1-/- mice). Ad-Sirt1-/- mice exhibited increased fat mass, impaired glucose tolerance, attenuated insulin sensitivity, and increased exosomes, whereas the administration of exosomes inhibitor effectively ameliorated the impaired metabolic profile in Ad-Sirt1-/- mice. Moreover, the increased exosomes were proved to be a result of defective autophagy activity in Ad-Sirt1-/- mice and restoration of SIRT1 activity efficiently improved metabolic profiles in vitro. Further study demonstrated that Sirt1 deficiency-induced exosomes modulated insulin sensitivity at least partially via the TLR4/NF-κB signaling pathway. Therefore, our findings implicated SIRT1 as a key factor in metabolic regulation, and adipose Sirt1 deficiency could exert an effect on the development of obesity and insulin resistance by promoting exosome release.
title: Optimizing residence time for recalcified blood in a microfluidic mixer

description: Many research laboratories are currently using microfluidic devices to model blood vessels to gain a better understanding of blood disorders and how to treat them. By using a continuous recalcification method, experimentation time can be elongated, and more complex systems can be studied. In order to use this method effectively, it should be known how long the blood and the recalcification buffer should be mixing for minimal platelet activation, but still hold the ability to activate given a chemical stimulus. By using varying lengths of effluent tubing, different residence times were studied to give an improved understanding of how the blood reacts upon recalcification. By labeling the effluent blood samples with antibodies, flow cytometry can reveal the activation state of platelets. The results of this experiment suggest no significant difference in activation between residence times of one and ten minutes.
Suprathermal electron strahl widths in the presence of narrow-band whistler waves in the solar wind

description: We perform the first statistical study of the effects of the interaction of suprathermal electrons with narrow-band whistler mode waves in the solar wind. We show that this interaction does occur and that it is associated with enhanced widths of the so called strahl component. The latter is directed along the inter- planetary magnetic field away from the Sun. We do the study by comparing the strahl pitch angle widths in the solar wind at 1AU in the absence of large scale discontinuities and transient structures, such as interplanetary shocks, interplanetary coronal mass ejections, stream interaction regions, etc. during times when the whistler mode waves were present and when they were absent. This is done by using the data from two Cluster instruments: STAFF data in frequency range between ~0.1 Hz and ~200 Hz were used for determining the wave properties and PEACE datasets at twelve central energies between ~57 eV (equivalent to ~10 typical electron thermal energies in the solar wind, E_T ) and ~676 eV (~113 E_T ) for pitch angle measurements. Statistical analysis shows that during the inter- vals with the whistler waves the strahl component on average exhibits pitch angle widths between 2 and 12 degrees larger than during the intervals when these waves are not present. The largest difference is obtained for the electron central energy of ~344 eV (~57 E_T ).
