Energy and group velocity in semi discretizations of hyperbolic equations
Creators: name: Vichnevetsky, Robert
Publisher: name: Rutgers University
Year: 1981

description: Propagation properties of a numerical semi-discretization of hyperbolic equation are analyzed, using time-Fourier Transforms. It is shown that numerical solutions are of two types, corresponding to the two roots of a characteristic equation, which is associated with the semi-discretization. The properties of those two types of solutions in terms of phase velocity, wavelength and group velocity are derived. While solutions of the first type converge to genuine solutions of the equation., solutions of the second type have group velocities opposite to the direction of flow, and are entirely spurious.

Retained placenta

description: Objectives: Morbid adherence is a risk factor for retained placenta(RP). We encountered 3 cases of placenta increta presenting clinically as delayed postpartum hemorrhage. Methods: This was a retrospective study of 3 cases of placenta increta presenting as RP. Results: One “routine” term placenta had heavy bleeding 2 weeks later; one missed abortion at 16 weeks with fetal and placental tissue submitted, had heavy bleeding 6 weeks later; and one elective abortion (no tissue submitted), had delayed postpartum bleeding leading to a curettage with blood only, then 6 weeks later a hysterectomy for menorrhagia. All 3 pathology specimens showed necrotic villi. However, all three also showed myometrium with keratin-positive interstitial trophoblasts in a zone of damaged myometrium, consistent with increta. All 3 cases had basal plate myofibers (BPMF) in the placenta, with BPMF recurrence in the 2 cases with another pregnancy. Conclusion: RP may be a presenting clinical manifestation of placenta increta.
Faithful contrastive features in learning

description: This paper pursues the idea of inferring aspects of phonological underlying forms directly from surface contrasts by looking at Optimality Theoretic linguistic systems (Prince & Smolensky, 1993/2004). The main result proves that linguistic systems satisfying certain conditions have the Faithful Contrastive Feature property: whenever two distinct morphemes contrast on the surface in a particular environment, at least one of the underlying features on which the two differ must be realized faithfully on the surface. A learning procedure exploiting the Faithful Contrastive Feature property, Contrast Analysis, can set the underlying values of some features, even where featural minimal pairs do not exist, but is nevertheless fundamentally limited in what it can set. This work suggests that observation of surface contrasts between pairs of words can contribute to the learning of underlying forms, while still supporting the view that interaction with the phonological mapping will be necessary to fully determine underlying forms.

description: One of the most frequently used methods for characterizing thin films is UV-Vis absorption. The near-edge region can be fitted to a simple expression where the intercept gives the band-gap and the fitting exponent identifies the electronic transition as direct or indirect. (See Tauc et al., Physica Status Solidi, 15, 627 (1966); naturally, these are usually called “Tauc” plots.) In earlier work, we found that direct band-gaps fitted using Tauc’s method can be quite accurate, to ~1%. (See Viezbicke et al., Physica Status Solidi, B252, 1700 (2015).) Still, slopes of these Tauc plots are less frequently quantified, even though the slopes are directly rooted in key band-structure parameters. In this study, we examine the reproducibility of Tauc plot slopes for ZnO as a model direct-gap material and compare these experimental values with the theoretically derived slope. In contrast to the band-gap accuracy, the experimental slope values varied by several orders of magnitude. The histogram of slope values was significantly more compact for Tauc plots exhibiting less Urbach tail contribution. In these cases, the Tauc slopes can provide an order-of-magnitude quantification of other key band characteristics such as carrier effective mass.
First-principles calculation of thermal and optical properties of molybdenum disulfide

description: The thermal and optical properties of layered structures of molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) were studied based on the first-principles density functional theory. The phonon density of states in various layered and bulk MoS2 shows a discontinuous band gap between about 7.0 and 8.0 THz. The specific heat variation with temperature and other thermodynamic properties like the Helmholtz free energy, entropy, and total energy are similar between the layered structures and bulk MoS2. The specific heat increases rapidly with increasing temperature in the region < 500 K and nearly flattens when the temperature goes above 1000 K. For the temperature < 400 K, the electronic plus vibrational Helmholtz free energy is positive, indicating electrons can be easily restricted to the MoS2 layers. The layered structures affect the optical properties in both in-plane and through-plane substantially. The monolayer has the lowest values of the dielectric function, optical conductivity, and absorptive index, whereas the bulk material shows the highest ones correspondingly. For the real refractive index, the monolayer has the lowest value at the low energy level, but could go to the highest in the interval from 15.0 eV to 35.5 eV or exceeding 37.6 eV. The band gap of the layered structures generally decreases with increasing layer number. The calculated band gap for the MoS2 bilayer at 1.78 eV matches with the experimental measurement in the literature.
Points-to analysis for Java using annotated inclusion constraints

Publisher: name: Rutgers University

description: The goal of points-to analysis for Java is to determine the set of objects pointed to by a reference variable or a reference object field. In this paper we define and evaluate a points-to analysis for Java which extends Andersen’s points-to analysis for C [4]. Andersen’s analysis for C can be implemented efficiently by using systems of set-inclusion constraints and by employing several techniques for constraint representation and resolution. We extend these techniques to efficiently represent and solve systems of annotated inclusion constraints. The annotations play two roles in our analysis. Method annotations are used to model precisely and efficiently the semantics of virtual calls. Field annotations allow us to distinguish the flow of values through different fields of an object. In addition, our analysis keeps track of all methods reachable from the entry point of the program, and avoids analyzing dead library code. We evaluate the performance of the analysis on a large set of realistic Java programs. Our results show that the analysis is practical and therefore will be useful as a relatively precise general-purpose points-to analysis for Java. The experiments also show that the points-to solution has significant impact on call graph construction, virtual call resolution, elimination of unnecessary synchronization, and stack-based object allocation.

description: Alcohol, opioid, and stimulant withdrawal syndromes are serious clinical presentations, some of which can be life-threatening if untreated. Patients presenting with withdrawal syndromes offer an important opportunity for healthcare providers to ally in deciding the most appropriate treatment setting, safely treating withdrawal symptoms, preventing potentially severe medical complications, and facilitating a transition to longer-term low-barrier substance use care including, where available, psychosocial interventions, evidence-based pharmacotherapies, and referrals for other community-based or specialist-led services. Given that substance use disorders are chronic biopsychosocial disorders commonly characterized by periods of relapse and remission, patients presenting in substance withdrawal deserve a long term and holistic approach to management that cannot be simply achieved in short-term withdrawal management siloed and separate from a continuum of care. This narrative review of withdrawal management literature describes recent advances in clinical care for patients in withdrawal from alcohol, opioids, and stimulants.

description: Marine sponges contain diverse brominated compounds as secondary metabolites and the sponge habitat appears to enrich for a population of anaerobic dehalogenating bacteria. Hence, there is interest in understanding how these natural and anthropogenic compounds are degraded in the marine environment. Compound specific isotope analysis (CSIA) is a useful tool to monitor and to quantify the degradation and fate of aquatic pollutants. The objective of this study was to evaluate whether reductive dehalogenation of brominated phenols by sponge-associated bacteria, including Desulfoluna spongiiphila, can be monitored by CSIA. Debromination of 2,6-dibromophenol to phenol by sponge-associated cultures resulted in measurable stable carbon isotope fractionation. All sponge-associated cultures showed similar isotopic enrichment factors (ε). The ε values for two independent sponge-derived dehalogenating cultures were −3.1 ± 1.5‰, and −3.0 ± 0.3‰, and that of sponge associated sediment cultures −2.0 ± 0.3‰. Thus, we demonstrate that reductive debromination of 2,6-dibromophenol resulted in measurable carbon isotope fractionation and that CSIA can be used to assess reductive debromination and to monitor and estimate in vivo dehalogenation in a sponge animal.

description: Nanofluids have received increasing attention in research and development in the area of renewable and sustainable energy systems. The addition of a small amount of high thermal conductivity solid nanoparticles could improve the thermophysical properties of a base fluid and lead to heat transfer augmentation. Various enhancement mechanisms and flow conditions result in nonlinear effects on the thermodynamics, heat transfer, fluid flow, and thermo-optical performance of nanofluids. A large amount of research data have been reported in the literature, yet some contradictory results exist. Many affecting factors as well as the nonlinearity and refutations make nanofluid research very complicated and impede its potentially practical applications. Nonetheless, machine learning methods would be essentially useful in nanofluid research concerning the prediction of thermophysical properties, the evaluation of thermo-hydrodynamic performance, and the radiative-optical performance applied to heat exchangers and solar energy systems. The present review aims at revealing the recent trends of machine learning research in nanofluids and scrutinizing the features and applicability of various machine learning methods. The potentials and challenges of machine learning approaches for nanofluid heat transfer research in renewable and sustainable energy systems are discussed. According to the Web of Science database, about 3% of nanofluid research papers published in 2019 involved in machine learning and such a tendency is increasing.

description: BACKGROUND: Evidence-based guidelines are not currently available for the treatment of positional plagiocephaly and, in particular, for the use of physical therapy for treatment. OBJECTIVE: To answer the question: “does physical therapy provide effective treatment for positional plagiocephaly?” Treatment recommendations are created based on the available evidence. METHODS: The PubMed and the Cochrane Library were queried using MeSH headings and key words relevant to the objective of this systematic review. Abstracts were reviewed, after which studies meeting the inclusion criteria were selected and graded according to their quality of evidence (Classes I-III). Evidentiary tables were constructed that summarized pertinent study results, and recommendations were made based on the quality of the literature (Levels I-III). RESULTS: Three studies met criteria for inclusion. Two randomized, controlled trials (Class I and Class II) and 1 prospective study assessing plagiocephaly as a secondary outcome measure (Class III) were included. CONCLUSION: Within the limits of this systematic review, physical therapy is significantly more effective than repositioning education as a treatment for positional plagiocephaly. There is no significant difference between physical therapy and a positioning pillow as a treatment for positional plagiocephaly. However, given the American Academy of Pediatrics' recommendation against soft pillows in cribs to ensure a safe sleeping environment for infants, physical therapy must be recommended over the use of a positioning pillow.

description: We consider the conservative complex Swift-Hohenberg equation, which belongs to the family of nonlinear fourth-order dispersive Schrödinger equations. In contrast to the well-studied one-dimensional dissipative Swift-Hohenberg equation, the complex variant introduces a wide array of largely unexplored solutions. Our study provides a fundamental step in understanding the complex characteristics of this equation, particularly for typical classes of solutions-uniform, periodic, and localized states-and their relationship with the original dissipative model. Our findings reveal significant differences between the two models. For instance, uniform solutions in the conservative model are inherently unstable, and periodic solutions are generally unstable except within a narrow parameter interval that supports multiple localized states. Furthermore, we establish a generalized Vakhitov-Kolokolov criterion to determine the stability of localized states in the conservative equation and relate it to the stability properties of the dissipative counterpart.

description: Atypical presentation of illness is one of those phenomena where “seeing is believing”. Expert geriatric nurses and clinicians know all to well the early signs and symptoms of this frequent masquerader of bacterial infections, pain, acute myocardial infarction, heart failure or other serious medical ailments in older adults. Students however, as novices to clinical practice, require interactive learning approaches to reflect on the client’s illness presentations, help with developing the necessary skills to analyze and synthesize clinically relevant data, and to witness resolution of an atypical presentation when found and treated. We discuss various learner-centered, interactive approaches to teach students how to recognize an atypical presentation of illness using a real-life clinical case. Outlined are teaching strategies for faculty, drawn on visual, auditory, reading and kinesthetic modes of student learning. Use of the senses to teach nurses about care of patient’s is not entirely new or innovative, as reflected on by Florence Nightingale’s (1846) earliest writings of the "rules of nursing".

description: On May 30, 2018, the Inter-American Court of Human Rights ordered Peru to review the presidential pardon granted to former president and dictator Alberto Fujimori, who had been convicted and imprisoned for his role in serious human rights violations. The Peruvian Supreme Court obliged and, after examining the merits of the presidential pardon through a special procedure set up to assess the pardon’s conformity with international human rights law, invalidated the pardon, effectively reinstating Fujimori’s imprisonment for crimes against humanity. The Inter-American Court’s form of engagement with Peruvian law—which I refer to as “constrained deference”—is novel and could be a sound method of interaction with states in future cases.

Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU)
Bioengineering

description: Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) sites widely serve as the first major research gateway for undergraduates seeking a structured research experience. Given their lack of prior research skills, and the highly compressed duration of the REU programs, these students frequently encounter barriers to a seamless transition into a new laboratory environment. We hypothesized that the design of a unified short course on laboratory and analysis techniques could serve as a pivotal orientation experience. Our goal was to rapidly align student expertise to their summer research goals while also integrating the student participants into a cohesive learning community. This article discusses the design and outcomes of a Cellular Bioengineering Boot Camp, which is offered at the outset of the 10-week REU site at Rutgers. The Boot Camp provides hands-on, supervised training for techniques and procedures that are common among projects. The training establishes a common language and baseline for the REU students and allows their first laboratory experiences to be with each other, and creates an immediate network of peers and mentors. Surveys before and after the Boot Camp and at the end of the summer indicated a significant improvement in student proficiency in the techniques that was retained throughout the summer. We believe that the Boot Camp approach can be tailored to the specifics of each REU site and its associated projects and research foci.

description: It is time to reclaim the egalitarian democratic purposes of public universities. Public universities and colleges play a crucial political and public role in a democratic society. Yet much of the higher education literature looks at higher education through an economic framework. This paper argues that a healthy and broadly accessible higher education system serves the democratic public interest in a democratic polity such as the United States. It concludes by arguing that public universities could serve the public interest more effectively with an expansive view of who the “public” is and of their role as anchor institutions for democracy.

description: Accumulation of small particles is beneficial for dust removal. We have carried out experiments to investigate the influences of flue gas properties, especially temperature, humidity, sulfuric acid and dust concentrations, on ash particle accumulation. The ash used was collected from an electric precipitator of a coal-fired power station. It is found that ash accumulation is strongly influenced by the flue gas temperature in comparison with the Engineering Acid Dew Temperature (EADT). With decreasing temperature below the EADT, both sulfuric acid in the flue gas and ash humidity rise, and the detected particle distribution shifts to larger size - indicating increased particle accumulation. Therefore, the flue gas temperature can be controlled to enhance particle accumulation and improve ash collection efficiency.

description: A capped thin-film diamond heat spreader is modeled for the reinforcement of hotspot cooling in the application of pulse-operated GaN-based HEMTs. To precisely evaluate the cooling performance, thickness dependence and anisotropy of diamond film thermal conductivity are considered. A 3-D transient thermal model based on the finite element method is developed to simulate the pulse behavior. The sharp temperature oscillation occurring in the periodic pulse mode from the microsecond to millisecond time scales introduces substantial difficulty and challenge for accurate modeling. To this end, a scale-down model mimic of a recently reported GaN-based amplifier with kW peak power-level is built to significantly reduce the computational time and increase the accuracy while maintaining crucial thermal characteristics. The thermal characteristics under periodic pulse mode are revealed and the dynamic steady-state peak junction temperature is reliably obtained. The impacts of thermal boundary resistance, substrate material, duty cycle and pulse period, on the performance of the diamond heat spreader have been scrutinized. For the GaN-on-SiC HEMTs working at 2.5% duty cycle, 200 µs pulse period, and 19.58 W/mm peak power density, a 2-µm-thick diamond heat spreader can reduce the dynamic steady-state peak junction temperature by 14.7%.

The two most common first-line analgesics, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and opioids, both have the potential to confound experimental outcomes depending on the research paradigm. If only one of these drug classes is compatible with a particular study design, a different adjunctive analgesic may be necessary to provide sufficient pain management and ensure animal welfare. A retroactive assessment of pain behaviors from the first 30-60 min postoperatively will also be evaluated.

 Parahyotissa imbricata Harry, 1985: 130.
 Material examined. – Type not studied. Probably in MNHN or in the Geneva, Switzerland, museum.
 Description. – Shell large, up to 150mm in height. Outline either orbicular or semicircular, equivalve. Hinge line is long and straight and approximately equal to shell length in smaller individuals. Shell relatively thin and light in smaller individuals but becomes thicker and heavier in larger ones. Both valves have dichotomous ribs radiating from the umbo and which bear prominent growth squamae that increase in length to become hyote spines. In older, eroded individuals, hyote spines are obsolete but growth squamae are still prominent at the newly-grown ventral margin. Attachment area varies from small and limited at the umbones, to large and encompassing the entire left valve. The shell margins of both valves are undulate, fitting into each other and, thus, reflecting the positions of the radial ribs. External coloration of both valves varies from white to cream in younger individuals to pink and purple with dark purple bands in older ones. The interior of the shell is white with pearly opalescent patches within the pallial area. The large commissural shelf is dull in texture because of the vesicular shell structure. The ligament is short and the ligamental area is usually not elongate. Umbonal cavity shallow. Chomata are absent. The adductor muscle scar is large, white or pink, approximately circular and positioned postero-dorsally from the centre of the valve.
 Distribution. – This species can be obtained only by trawling in the southern and western waters of Hong Kong, e.g. near Po Toi Island and northern Lantau Island. It is an Indo-West Pacific species which occurs in the Philippines, Australia and South China Sea to the Boso Peninsula, Japan.
 Remarks. – This species is distinguished from Hyotissa sinensis in having a white shell interior, obvious hyote spines and radiating ribs on both valves.

description: Demand for clean products and services is increasing as society is becoming increasingly aware of climate change. In response, many enterprises are setting explicit sustainability goals and implementing initiatives to reduce carbon emissions. Quantification and disclosure of such goals and initiatives have become important marketing tools. As enterprises and individuals shift their workloads to the cloud, this drive toward quantification and disclosure will lead to demand for quantifiable green cloud services. Thus, we argue that cloud providers should offer a new class of green service, in addition to existing (energy-sourceoblivious) services. This new class would provide their clients with explicit service-level agreements (which we call Green SLAs) for the percentage of renewable energy used to run their workloads.

description: Heat dissipation through nanoscale heterostructures is of technological importance and fundamental research interest. Diamond is a desirable heat spreader, for integrating with semiconductors to dissipate quickly large amount of heat generated in electronics. The rapid development of GaN-on-diamond devices holds much promise for thermal management of high-power electronics and devices. Hitherto, the interfacial effect of an inherent epilayer between GaN and diamond to thermal dissipation is less investigated. One aim of this study is to understand and analyze the interfacial thermal boundary resistance (TBR) across a diamond/GaN heterostructure with the presence of an epilayer of either AlN, or Si3N4, or Si. It is found that with a 5 nm epilayer the Si3N4 gives the lowest TBR (4.58 m(2)K/GW) among the three types of diamond/GaN interface. The thickness effect of epilayer is also revealed; and it is found from theoretical calculations that the lowest TBR exists for the AlN and Si3N4 epilayers around 50 and 70 nm, respectively. Besides, c-BN is drawing increasing attention because it not only owns diamond-like thermal properties but also is a promising material for fabricating optoelectronic devices. The interfacial TBR reduced when the diamond cap or the GaN substrate was replaced by the c-BN. Further, c-BN can be directly grown on diamond without use of epilayer, resulting in an unprecedented low TBR of 0.4 m(2)K/GW in the diamond/c-BN interface.

description: The DUDES Club is a novel men’s health and wellness organization founded in 2010 in Vancouver, BC. Since 2017, the DUDES Club has rapidly expanded in Northern BC and, with the help of a partnership with the First Nations Health Authority, has grown to include 40 sites in British Columbia and 2 sites nationally. In this study, we analyze data from interviews (n = 5) and 15 focus groups (n = 101) conducted as part of a program evaluation with DUDES Club members, Elders, providers, and health care professionals. We focus on men’s experiences with the DUDES Club to identify four main themes in the data: brotherhood and community, accessible health care information, disrupting colonial constructions of masculinity, and systemic and structural challenges. We conclude with policy recommendations.
Initializing neural networks using decision trees
Creators: name: Banerjee, Arunava
Publisher: name: Rutgers University

description: Existing approaches to the inductive learning problem include Symbolic and Connectionist algorithms. While the Symbolic approach is generally found to run significantly faster during learning, the Connectionist algorithms are often more accurate at classifying novel examples in the presence of noisy data. This paper presents a technique that determines the topology and initial weightsof a neural network using a decision tree, thus combining both approaches. Experimental results on benchmark real-world datasets indicate that this technique outperforms the above mentioned approaches both in efficiency and accuracy.

description: Fish community data were collected to investigate the role of wetlands in supporting fish communities of protected embayments in Lake Ontario. Wetland and deeper, more open, littoral sites were sampled in five protected embayments using gill nets, fyke nets, minnow traps, and electrofishing gear during the summers of 2001 and 2002. Pooled gear data were used to analyze community composition, size frequency, and species richness. We found that even within protected embayments where community composition of both habitats is similar, wetlands support a community of fish different in species dominance and size structure than littoral embayment habitats. The abundance of young-of-year fish suggests that wetlands support fish populations by providing important nursery habitat. The similarity in fish community composition between wetland and littoral habitats indicates that wetlands remain important in supporting a subset of the embayment fish community. These results demonstrate that both wetlands and littoral areas in embayments are valuable and intensively utilized fish habitats that should receive special consideration in ecosystem management plans for the Great Lakes.

Hyotissa sinensis

description: Hyotissa sinensis (Gmelin, 1791)
Common name: Honeycomb oyster (Figs. 6 D-F)
 Ostrea sinensis Gmelin, 1791: 3335; Sowerby 1871, Pl. III, Fig. 5. Hyotissa sinensis Morris, 1985: p. 120 -123, Pls. 1A, B; Scott, 1994:
70, Pl. 5D.
 Material examined. – Type not studied, presumably in the Spengler Collection at the Zoologisk Museum, Copenhagen (ZMUC), Denmark, or in the Adanson Collection of the Muséum National d’Histoire Naturelle, Paris, France (MNHN). Voucher – One dry shell, (height 78.2 mm)(NHM 1981130), Mirs Bay, Hong Kong, trawl, 10 m, coll. J. D. Taylor, 23 Mar.– 8 Apr.1977; one dry shell (height 51.7 mm)(SBMNH 141713), southeastern waters of Hong Kong, trawl, 7-55 m, coll. P. H. Scott, 13 Apr.– 1 May.1992.
 Description. – Shell large, up to ~ 150mm in height, rounded to oval in outline. Shell is thick and heavy in large individuals. Surface irregularly folded with radial ribs on both valves. Shell margin with irregular wavy plications corresponding to rib positions. Attachment area on the left valve depends on substratum type. Two colour morphs are identified, i.e. pale yellow and deep purple. Chomata in a vermiculate pattern are restricted to the anterior and posterior hinge margins. Shell interior is white and covered by a layer of vesicular shell microstructure. Commisural shelf is broad and coloured either pale yellow or deep purple. The hinge line is straight and comparatively long. The adductor muscle scar is large, circular and positioned to the posterior side of the centre of the shell. It may be colourless, i.e. white, or cream or purplish brown depending on the individual and the presence of growth lines.
  Distribution. – Hyotissa sinensis  occurs in the sublittoral zone at Kat O Chau, Mirs Bay, at between 8 and 10 m, in the eulittoral zone of East Ping Chau and subtidal waters of southern Hong Kong. It also aggregates on the walls and ceiling inside the marine cave on Conic Island. This species favours marine salinities rather than estuarine conditions and is restricted to the Western Pacific from southern Japan, the coast of China to the Philippines and probably as far south as northern Queensland, Australia (Scott, 1994).
  Remarks. – Hyotissa sinensis  has been considered to be synonymous with Hyotissa hyotis by some authors (Morris, 1985). This species, however, can be distinguished from the latter by the weak irregular folding of the margins. H. hyotis has a sharp and acute plicate shell margin reflecting the shape and position of the well-defined, regularly-spaced radial ribs on both valves.
