A total of 15,069 articles were independently double screened in the title and abstract phases, with 250 articles proceeding to a full-text review. Inclusion criteria comprised (a) a sample of children with DLD between the ages of 2 and 12 years, (b) a language measure, (c) a social competence measure, and (d) an appropriate statistic. Exclusion criteria were (a) intervention studies with no baseline data, (b) language measures based on preverbal abilities, (c) samples of children with DLD and other clinical conditions, and (d) studies without useable statistics. Data were extracted from 21 studies that met the eligibility criteria for the meta-analysis.Results: Pooled estimates across 21 studies (Mage = 7.52 years; 64% male) and 6,830 children indicated a significant association between language skills and social competence in children with DLD (r = .18, 95% confidence interval [.12, .24], p < .001), which was small in magnitude.

Dynamics of laminar and transitional flows over slip surfaces: effects on the laminar-turbulent separatrix

description: The effect of slip surfaces on the laminar-turbulent separatrix of plane Poiseuille flow is studied by direct numerical simulation. Turbulence lifetimes, the likelihood that turbulence is sustained, is investigated for transitional flows with various slip lengths. Slip surfaces decrease the likelihood of sustained turbulence compared to the no-slip case, and likelihood is further decreased as slip length is increased. A deterministic analysis of the effects of slip surfaces on transition to turbulence is performed using nonlinear traveling wave solutions to the Navier-Stokes equations, also known as exact coherent solutions. Two solution families, dubbed P3 and P4, are used since their lower-branch solutions are embedded on the boundary of the basin of attraction of laminar and turbulent flows (Park & Graham 2015). Additionally, they exhibit distinct flow structures -- the P3 and P4 are denoted as core mode and critical layer mode, respectively. Distinct effects of slip surfaces on the solutions are observed by the skin friction evolution, linear growth rate, and phase-space projection of transitional trajectories. The slip surface modifies transition dynamics little for the core mode, but considerably for the critical layer mode. Most importantly, the slip surface promotes different transition dynamics -- early and bypass-like transition for the core mode and delayed and H-/K-type-like transition for the critical layer mode. Based on spatiotemporal and quadrant analyses, it is found that slip surfaces promote the prevalence of strong wall-toward motions (sweep-like events) near vortex cores close to the channel centre, inducing an early transition, while sustained ejection events are present in the region of the $Λ$-shaped vortex cores close to the critical layer, resulting in a delayed transition.

description: We study monomial ideals using the operation polarization to first turn them into square-free monomial ideals. We focus on monomial ideals whose polarization produce simplicial trees, and show that many of the properties of simplicial trees hold for such ideals.This includes Cohen-Macaulayness of the Rees ring, and being sequentially Cohen-Macaulay. The appendix is an independent study of primary decomposition in a sequentially Cohen-Macaulay module. We demonstrate how every submodule appearing in the filtration of a sequentially Cohen-Macaulay module can be described in terms of the primary decomposition of the 0-submodule.

description: There are several reports in India that indicate hospitals and quarantined centers are COVID-19 hotspots. In the absence of efficient contact tracing tools, Govt. and the policymakers may not be paying attention to the risk of hospital-based transmission. To explore more on this important route and its possible impact on lockdown effect, we developed a mechanistic model with hospital-based transmission. Using daily notified COVID-19 cases from six states (Maharashtra, Delhi, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Gujarat, and Uttar Pradesh) and overall India, we estimated several important parameters of the model. Moreover, we provided an estimation of the basic ($R_{0}$), the community ($R_{C}$), and the hospital ($R_{H}$) reproduction numbers for those seven locations. To obtain a reliable forecast of future COVID-19 cases, a BMA post-processing technique is used to ensemble the mechanistic model with a hybrid statistical model. Using the ensemble model, we forecast COVID-19 notified cases (daily and cumulative) from May 3, 2020, till May 20, 2020, under five different lockdown scenarios in the mentioned locations. Our analysis of the mechanistic model suggests that most of the new COVID-19 cases are currently undetected in the mentioned seven locations. Furthermore, a global sensitivity analysis of four epidemiologically measurable \& controllable parameters on $R_{0}$ and as well on the lockdown effect, indicate that if appropriate preventive measures are not taken immediately, a much larger COVID-19 outbreak may trigger from hospitals and quarantined centers. In most of the locations, our ensemble model forecast indicates a substantial percentage of increase in the COVID-19 notified cases in the coming weeks in India. Based on our results, we proposed a containment policy that may reduce the threat of a larger COVID-19 outbreak in the coming days.

description: In an effort to more effectively utilize its resources to promote fresh sweet corn, the Fresh Supersweet Corn Council contracted with the Florida Agricultural Market Research Center (FAMRC) of the University of Florida to conduct a comprehensive consumer survey. The consumer survey was designed to investigate consumer preferences, attitudes, and behavior regarding the purchase and consumption of fresh sweet corn. A total of 1,031 consumer telephone interviews were conducted in Dallas, Atlanta, Chicago, Boston and Philadelphia between September 7 and November 3, 2001. Respondents' revealed very limited consumption in the winter, spring, and fall seasons and consumers' perceptions that sweet corn is not available in these seasons. Probit models are estimated to determine effects of seasonality

description: We report chain self-diffusion and viscosity data for sodium polystyrene sulfonate (NaPSS) in semidilute salt-free aqueous solutions measured by pulsed field gradient NMR and rotational rheometry respectively. The observed concentration dependence of $η$ and $D$ are consistent with the Rouse-Zimm scaling model with a concentration dependent monomeric friction coefficient. The concentration dependence of the monomeric friction coefficient exceeds that expected from free-volume models of diffusion, and its origin remains unclear. Correlation blobs and dilute chains with equivalent end-to-end distances exhibit nearly equal friction coefficients, in agreement with scaling. The viscosity and diffusion data are combined using the Rouse model to calculate the chain dimensions of NaPSS in salt-free solution, these agree quantitatively with SANS measurements.

description: This study develops a framework for the analysis of optimal advertising and free-rider problem. Previous studies in the literature were extended in two ways. First, the new framework allows retailer's oligopsony power separately from processor's market power. Second, to examine the free-rider problem, we introduce the trade component to the model and divide domestic producers into two groups: participating producers and non-participating producers in the possible voluntary program. The free-rider problem was measured as the amount of domestic price decrease due to the increased production from importers and non-participating producers.

description: The multiple scattering method T-matrix (MSTMM) can be used to solve the electromagnetic response of systems consisting of many compact scatterers, retaining a good level of accuracy while using relatively few degrees of freedom, largely surpassing other methods in the number of scatterers it can deal with. Here we extend the method to infinite periodic structures using Ewald-type lattice summation, and we exploit the possible symmetries of the structure to further improve its efficiency, so that systems containing tens of thousands of particles can be studied with relative ease. We release a modern implementation of the method, including the theoretical improvements presented here, under GNU General Public Licence.

description: The precision measurement of the hyperfine splitting $Δ_{\rm HF} (1P, c\bar c)=M_{\rm cog} (χ_{cJ}) - M(h_c) = -0.5 \pm 0.4$ MeV in the Fermilab--E835 experiment allows to determine the gluonic condensate $G_2$ with high accuracy if the gluonic correlation length $T_g$ is fixed. In our calculations the negative value of $Δ_{\rm HF} = -0.3 \pm 0.4$ MeV is obtained only if the relatively small $T_g = 0.16$ fm and $G_2 = 0.065 (3)$ GeV${}^4$ are taken. These values correspond to the ``physical'' string tension $(σ\approx 0.18 $ GeV$^2$). For $T_g \ge 0.2$ fm the hyperfine splitting is positive and grows for increasing $T_g$. In particular for $T_g = 0.2$ fm and $G_2 = 0.041 (2)$ GeV${}^4$ the splitting $Δ_{\rm HF} = 1.4 (2)$ MeV is obtained, which is in accord with the recent CLEO result.

description: An assessment is made of the J-integral test procedure for initial crack growth in an open-cell aluminium alloy foam by combining finite element (FE) simulations with experiment. It is found experimentally that a zone of randomly failed struts develops ahead of the primary crack tip, and is comparable in size to that of the plastic zone. Hence, a crack tip J-field is absent at the initiation of crack growth from the primary crack tip. This implies that the measured J_IC value and the J versus crack extension Da curve cannot be treated as material properties despite the fact that the specimen size meets the usual criteria for J validity. The toughness tests were performed on a single-edge notched bend specimen, and crack extension was measured by the direct current potential drop method, by digital image correlation and by X-ray computed tomography. The crack growth resistance of the foam is associated with two distinct zones of plastic dissipation: (i) a bulk plastic zone emanating from the crack tip (containing a cluster of randomly failed struts), and (ii) a crack bridging zone behind the advancing crack tip. The applicability of a cohesive zone model to predict the fracture response is explored for the observed case of large scale bridging. To do so, FE simulations are performed by replacing the discrete lattice of the open-cell metallic foam by a compressible, elastic-plastic hardening solid while the fracture process zone in the foam is represented by a cohesive zone, as characterised by a tensile traction versus separation law. A detailed comparison of the cohesive zone model with experimental observations reveals that it is possible to capture the load versus displacement response but not the details of the fracture process zone using a single set of process zone parameters.

Identification of a novel protein interaction which contributes to N-type calcium channel G-protein and PKC-dependent modulation
Creators: name: Guthrie, Heather
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: The N-type calcium channel plays a critical role in neurotransmission and is known to associate with proteins involved in vesicle release such as syntaxin, synaptotagmin and SNAP-25. In addition, block of N-type channels has been shown to abolish neurotransmission in both the peripheral and central nervous systems. Modulation of calcium channels can alter calcium entry into a cell and therefore understanding these processes is crucial towards determining the factors governing N-type channel regulation of neurotransmission. In order to identify factors which may influence the activity of the N-type channels in neuronal physiology, I screened a rat brain yeast two-hybrid library with the cytoplasmic regions of the rat N-type am subunit. Using this approach clones encoding the protein Nell2 were identified that bound to the C-terminus of the N-type CXIB subunit. Nell2 is a PKC binding protein and a member of a family of proteins known as Nels (neuronally expressed proteins containing EGFlike repeats). RT-PCR of various rat tissues determined that Nell2 and N-type calcium channel RNA were expressed in many of the same tissues, including brain stem, cerebellum, cortex and pituitary with trace amounts in eye and heart. A full-length Nell2 clone was generated from rat brain RNA by RT-PCR with and without an N-terminal Flag epitope tag. Co-expression of Nell2 and N-type calcium channels was analyzed in ITEK cells and neurons by immunohistochemical techniques. Both proteins were found to be membrane associated and localized to the same regions within each cell type. In order to understand the functional significance of the Nell2/N-type channel interaction, electrophysiological analysis was carried out on HEK cells co-expressing Nell2 and N-type channels. The presence of Nell2 enhanced both the PKC and G-protein-dependent modulation of N-type channels. In the presence of Nell2, N-type channels became more sensitive to phorbol esters and co-expression with Nell2 antisense RNA abolished the characteristic PKC-dependent upregulation of N-type channel peak currents. The G-protein-dependent inhibition of N-type channel currents was further enhanced in the presence of Nell2. Deletion analysis of the Nell2 gene product showed that the first 20 amino acids largely contributed to the enhanced G-proteindependent inhibition. A model is proposed to describe how Nell2 may participate in neurotransmission by anchoring PKC at presynaptic sites with the N-type calcium channels.
The physical picture behind the oscillating sign of drag in high Landau levels

Subjects: subject: Mesoscale and Nanoscale Physics (cond-mat.mes-hall)

description: We consider the oscillating sign of the drag resistivity and its anomalous temperature dependence discovered experimentally in a bi-layer system in the regime of the integer quantum Hall effect. We attribute the oscillating sign to the effect of disorder on the relation between an adiabatic momentum transfer to an electron and the displacement of its position. While in the absence of any Landau level mixing a momentum transfer $\hbar \bf q$ implies a displacement of $ql_H^2$ (with $l_H$ being the magnetic length), Landau level mixing induced by short range disorder adds a potentially large displacement that depends on the electron's energy, with the sign being odd with respect to the distance of that energy from the center of the Landau level. We show how the oscillating sign of drag disappears when the disorder is smooth and when the electronic states are localized.

description: We propose a method to realize the Frenkel-Kontorova model using an array of Rydberg dressed atoms. Our platform can be used to study this model with a range of realistic interatomic potentials. In particular, we concentrate on two types of interaction potentials: a springlike potential and a repulsive long-range potential. We numerically calculate the phase diagram for such systems and characterize the Aubry-like and commensurate-incommensurate phase transitions. Experimental realizations of this system that are possible to achieve using current technology are discussed.

description: Purpose: This study had two aims. Aim 1 was to query both communication science and disorders (CSD) faculty and school-based speech-language pathologists (SLPs) regarding how written language is/was covered in their graduate programs. Aim 2 was to query school-based SLPs about their written language service provision.Method: CSD faculty (n = 143) and school-based SLPs (n = 610) completed an online survey examining (a) if and how written language was addressed in their graduate program, (b) what content related to written language was covered in graduate school, and (c) provision of written language services in schools (SLPs only).Results: There was a discrepancy in reports of training provision. Faculty reported providing more training than SLPs reported receiving. However, SLPs with fewer years of experience reported slightly higher levels of training compared to those with more years of experience. Additionally, there was variability among SLPs in how often they targeted written language in therapy. Finally, receipt of training in written language was a significant predictor of provision of written language services, as reported by SLPs.Conclusions: SLPs play a key role on literacy teams in schools, but many SLPs did not receive adequate training in written language. In order to ensure SLPs are trained to work with children with reading difficulties, graduate programs should ensure that written language is part of the clinical and academic curricula.Supplemental Material S1.

description: Room temperature Raman scattering measurements have been carried out on well characterized samples of MgB2-xCx. The Raman line corresponding to the E2g phonon mode shows progressive hardening from 620 cm-1 in pristine MgB2 to 775 cm-1 in the sample with carbon fraction x=0.2. The corresponding line width on the other hand, increases from a value of about 220 cm-1 to 286 cm-1 in samples with x = 0.1, beyond which it decreases to a value 167 cm-1 for x=0.2. From the average mode frequency and the line width obtained from Raman measurements and taking the values of N(0) obtained from the calculated variation in s hole density of states in MgB2-xCx, the electron phonon coupling strength to the E2g phonon, l2g, is evaluated using Allen’s formula. This remains large for low C fraction, but shows rapid decrease for x > 0.10. Using this value of l2g appropriately weighted, TC is obtained from McMillan’s equation. These values are in good agreement with the experimentally measured TC variation in MgB2-xCx.

description: We define a supersymmetric quantum mechanics of fermions that take values in a simple Lie algebra. We summarize what is known about the spectrum and eigenspaces of the Laplacian which corresponds to the Koszul differential d. Firstly, we concentrate on the zero eigenvalue eigenspace which coincides with the Lie algebra cohomology. We provide physical insight into useful tools to compute the cohomology, namely Morse theory and the Hochschild-Serre spectral sequence. We list explicit generators for the Lie algebra cohomology ring. Secondly, we concentrate on the eigenspaces of the supersymmetric quantum mechanics with maximal eigenvalue at given fermion number. These eigenspaces have an explicit description in terms of abelian ideals of a Borel subalgebra of the simple Lie algebra. We also introduce a model of Lie algebra valued fermions in two dimensions, where the spaces of maximal eigenvalue acquire a cohomological interpretation. Our work provides physical interpretations of results by mathematicians, and simplifies the proof of a few theorems. Moreover, we recall that these mathematical results play a role in pure supersymmetric gauge theory in four dimensions, and observe that they give rise to a canonical representation of the four-dimensional chiral ring.

description: Purpose: This study had two aims. Aim 1 was to query both communication science and disorders (CSD) faculty and school-based speech-language pathologists (SLPs) regarding how written language is/was covered in their graduate programs. Aim 2 was to query school-based SLPs about their written language service provision.Method: CSD faculty (n = 143) and school-based SLPs (n = 610) completed an online survey examining (a) if and how written language was addressed in their graduate program, (b) what content related to written language was covered in graduate school, and (c) provision of written language services in schools (SLPs only).Results: There was a discrepancy in reports of training provision. Faculty reported providing more training than SLPs reported receiving. However, SLPs with fewer years of experience reported slightly higher levels of training compared to those with more years of experience. Additionally, there was variability among SLPs in how often they targeted written language in therapy. Finally, receipt of training in written language was a significant predictor of provision of written language services, as reported by SLPs.Conclusions: SLPs play a key role on literacy teams in schools, but many SLPs did not receive adequate training in written language. In order to ensure SLPs are trained to work with children with reading difficulties, graduate programs should ensure that written language is part of the clinical and academic curricula.Supplemental Material S1.

description: We present LOFAR observations at 120-168 MHz of 42 systems with possible X-ray cavities in their hot atmosphere, of which 17 are groups or ellipticals, 19 are nearby clusters (z<0.3), and six are higher-redshift clusters (z>0.3). The X-ray cavities, formed by the radio lobes of the central active galactic nucleus (AGN), are evidence of radio-mode AGN feedback. In the groups and ellipticals sample, more than half of the systems have X-ray cavities for which no associated lobe emission was detected. Conversely, we report the discovery of large radio lobes in NGC 6338, extending far beyond the emission reported previously in the literature. In the case of the nearby clusters, our observations show that there is little low-frequency radio emission that extends beyond the cavities (e.g., MS 0735.6+7421 and A2052). For the first time, we report secure cavity-radio associations in 2A 0335+096, ZwCl 2701, and ZwCl 8276 that strengthens their interpretation as AGN-created cavities. However, in some known cavity systems (e.g., A1795 and ZwCl 3146) we report the lack of detectable low-frequency radio emission associated with the cavities. Our sample of higher-redshift systems is small, and unfortunately the present LOFAR observations are not able to resolve the lobes in many of them. Nevertheless, our sample represents one of the best available for investigating the connection between radio and jet power in radio-mode AGN feedback.

The stability of strained H:Si(105) and H:Ge(105) surfaces

description: We report atomic scale studies of the effect of applied strain and hydrogen environment on the reconstructions of the (105) Si and Ge surfaces. Surface energy calculations for monohydride-terminated (001) and (105) reconstructions reveal that the recently established single-height rebonded model is unstable not only with respect to (001), but also in comparison to other monohydride (105) structures. This finding persists for both Si and Ge, for applied biaxial strains from -4% to 4%, and for nearly the entire relevant domain of the chemical potential of hydrogen, thus providing an explanation for the recently observed H-induced destabilization of the Ge(105) surface.

description: Purpose: Generalization has been defined and instantiated in a variety of ways over the last half-century, and this lack of consistency has created challenges for speech-language pathologists to plan for, implement, and measure generalization in aphasia treatment protocols. This tutorial provides an overview of generalization with a focus on how it relates to aphasia intervention, including a synthesis of existing principles of generalization and examples of how these can be embedded in approaches to aphasia treatment in clinical and research settings.Method: Three articles collectively listing 20 principles of generalization formed the foundation for this tutorial. The seminal work of Stokes and Baer (1977) focused attention on generalization in behavioral change following treatment. Two aphasia-specific resources identified principles of generalization in relation to aphasia treatment (Coppens & Patterson, 2018; Thompson, 1989). A selective literature review was conducted to identify evidence-based examples of each of these 20 principles from the extant literature.Results: Five principles of generalization were synthesized from the original list of 20. Each principle was supported by studies drawn from the aphasia treatment literature to exemplify its application.Conclusions: Generalization is an essential aspect of meaningful aphasia intervention. Successful generalization requires the same dedication to strategic planning and outcome measurement as the direct training aspect of intervention. Although not all people with aphasia are likely to benefit equally from each of the principles reviewed herein, our synthesis provides information to consider for maximizing generalization of aphasia treatment outcomes.Supplemental Material S1.

description: Background: The roles of neuromodulation in a neural network, such as in a cortical microcolumn, are still incompletely understood. Neuromodulation influences neural processing by presynaptic and postsynaptic regulation of synaptic efficacy. Neuromodulation also affects ion channels and intrinsic excitability. Methods: Synaptic efficacy modulation is an effective way to rapidly alter network density and topology. We alter network topology and density to measure the effect on spike synchronization. We also operate with differently parameterized neuron models which alter the neurons intrinsic excitability, i.e., activation function. Results: We find that (a) fast synaptic efficacy modulation influences the amount of correlated spiking in a network. Also, (b) synchronization in a network influences the read-out of intrinsic properties. Highly synchronous input drives neurons, such that differences in intrinsic properties disappear, while asynchronous input lets intrinsic properties determine output behavior. Thus, altering network topology can alter the balance between intrinsically vs. synaptically driven network activity. Conclusion: We conclude that neuromodulation may allow a network to shift between a more synchronized transmission mode and a more asynchronous intrinsic read-out mode. This has significant implications for our understanding of the flexibility of cortical computations.
