description: Due to elastic anisotropy, two-dimensional patterning of substrates can promote weak azimuthal alignment of adjacent nematic liquid crystals. Here, we consider how such alignment can be achieved using a periodic square lattice of circular or elliptical motifs. In particular, we examine ways in which the lattice and motif can compete to favor differing orientations. Using Monte Carlo simulation and continuum elasticity we find, for circular motifs, an orientational transition depending on the coverage fraction. If the circles are generalised to ellipses, arbitrary control of the effective alignment direction and anchoring energy becomes achievable by appropriate tuning of the ellipse motif relative to the periodic lattice patterning. This has possible applications in both monostable and bi-stable liquid crystal device contexts.

description: We analyse whether a stellar atmosphere model computed with the code CMFGEN provides an optimal description of the stellar observations of WR 136 and simultaneously reproduces the nebular observations of NGC 6888, such as the ionization degree, which is modelled with the pyCloudy code. All the observational material available (far and near UV and optical spectra) were used to constrain such models. We found that even when the stellar luminosity and the mass-loss rate were well constrained, the stellar temperature T_* at tau = 20, can be in a range between 70 000 and 110 000 K. When using the nebula as an additional restriction we found that the stellar models with T_* \sim 70 000 K represent the best solution for both, the star and the nebula. Results from the photoionization model show that if we consider a chemically homogeneous nebula, the observed N^+/O^+ ratios found in different nebular zones can be reproduced, therefore it is not necessary to assume a chemical inhomogeneous nebula. Our work shows the importance of calculating coherent models including stellar and nebular constraints. This allowed us to determine, in a consistent way, all the physical parameters of both the star and its associated nebula. The chemical abundances derived are 12 + log(N/H) = 9.95, 12 + log(C/H) = 7.84 and 12 + log(O/H) = 8.76 for the star and 12 + log(N/H) = 8.40, 12 + log(C/H) = 8.86 and 12 + log(O/H) = 8.20. Thus the star and the nebula are largely N- and C- enriched and O-depleted.

description: Dark matter in the Milky Way may annihilate directly into gamma rays, producing a monoenergetic spectral line. Therefore, detecting such a signature would be strong evidence for dark matter annihilation or decay. We search for spectral lines in the Fermi Large Area Telescope observations of the Milky Way halo in the energy range 200 MeV to 500 GeV using analysis methods from our most recent line searches. The main improvements relative to previous works are our use of 5.8 years of data reprocessed with the Pass 8 event-level analysis and the additional data resulting from the modified observing strategy designed to increase exposure of the Galactic center region. We searched in five sky regions selected to optimize sensitivity to different theoretically-motivated dark matter scenarios and find no significant detections. In addition to presenting the results from our search for lines, we also investigate the previously reported tentative detection of a line at 133 GeV using the new Pass 8 data.

description: Highly loaded airfoils in low-pressure turbines (LPTs) suffer from laminar flow separation from the suction side of the airfoils aft of the throat of the passages. This separation harms the performance of the engine by reducing the power extraction from the turning air and ultimately reduces the overall turbine efficiency. Flow control techniques have been investigated to eliminate flow separation in aerodynamic surfaces to abate the losses associated with it. This Master of Science Thesis investigates the design, implementation and testing of pulsated injection actuation in a low-Reynolds flow over a wall-mounted hump. Furthermore, this Thesis expands on the existing expertise in the infrared (IR) thermography measurement technique at the Purdue Experimental Turbine Aerothermal Lab. This is done through an investigation of the factors affecting the IR measurement technique and the development of an optical instrument (borescope) to implement in an annular cascade wind tunnel. IR thermography is used on the wall-mounted hump blowdown tests to detect the separation point in the boundary layer using two techniques: by an investigation of the surface temperature distribution and an investigation of the heat transfer behavior at the surface. Finally, the borescope is commissioned through the first testing campaign of the LPT airfoils, and are processed to thermally investigate the passage. This thesis succeeds in expanding the IR capabilities within PETAL, and at demonstrating pulsated injection as an effective method to eliminate flow separation. Furthermore, IR successfully detects flow separation on the wall-mounted hump through the two methods presented, as well as detecting the boundary layer reattachment caused by the flow control technique. The limitations of the thermal methodology, as well as those of the optical probe are addressed, and the uncertainties in the measurements are quantified. Finally, steps to continue the studies are suggested at the end of each methodology chapter, including the potential redesign of the IR borescope to improve the quality of measurements.

description: Subclinical acidosis and laminitis are among the most frustrating syndromes to investigate. Subclinical acidosis results in a number of vague clinical signs such as erratic appetite, weight loss, intermittent diarrhea and lameness.11,12 The multifactorial etiology and lag between the initial metabolic insult and appearance of recognizable clinical signs often make identification of a discrete cause challenging. Milk production records, milk fat and protein relationships, and hoof appearance are often used as indirect indicators of this disease. One indirect indicator is termed the "hardship groove,"6 which refers to a depression in the hoof wall running parallel to the coronary band of the hoof. Hardship grooves are considered to be evidence of production stress, nutritional mismanagement, or disease and are suggested as a means to pinpoint chronological development of the lesions.6,7 The objective of this paper is to review characteristics of hoof growth and to discuss the use of hoof appearance in disease investigation.

description: Background & Purpose: In response to an increasing number of user requests, a health sciences librarian and a library science graduate research assistant at a major southeastern university set out to discover and collect resources to support searching, researching, and publishing--with an emphasis on qualitative research. Requests have included help finding sources of training and support across campus and assistance searching for qualitative research, evaluating qualitative studies, reporting qualitative research, and finding appropriate publication venues. Locally, significant support and a number of training opportunities ranging from credit courses to short courses to assistance with methodology and analytical software exist but are widely scattered across campus and not always easy to find, particularly for those not already familiar with qualitative terminology. More broadly, a number of high quality web-based resources exist to assist in searching for, evaluating, and publishing qualitative research. Additionally, articles that focus on searching for qualitative research in specific databases exist in the health professions and related literature. Methods: To meet the needs of qualitative researchers and searchers--and the librarians who support them--we want to make the resources we've found easily findable and accessible. We chose the LibGuides platform commonly used on our campus, and we will promote the guide to our library liaisons and our Research Hub librarians who connect researchers with experts and tools. Outcome: When complete, the guide will include such resources as search filters and strategies, writing conventions for reporting qualitative research, qualitative analysis software and training resources, a list of health science related journals that publish qualitative research, guidelines for evaluating qualitative studies and integrating them into systematic reviews, and links to on-campus resources for researchers who want further training or support in qualitative methods (including consultants, departments/centers, and qualitative analysis software/computing).

description: We present high-dispersion spectroscopic data of the compact planetary nebula Vy 1-2, where high expansion velocities up to 100 km/s are found in the Ha, [N II] and [O III] emission lines. HST images reveal a bipolar structure. Vy 1-2 displays a bright ring-like structure with a size of 2.4"x3.2" and two faint bipolar lobes in the west-east direction. A faint pair of knots is also found, located almost symmetrically on opposite sides of the nebula at PA=305 degrees. Furthermore, deep low-dispersion spectra are also presented and several emission lines are detected for the first time in this nebula, such as the doublet [Cl III] 5517, 5537 A, [K IV] 6101 A, C II 6461 A, the doublet C IV 5801, 5812 A. By comparison with the solar abundances, we find enhanced N, depleted C and solar O. The central star must have experienced the hot bottom burning (CN-cycle) during the 2nd dredge-up phase, implying a progenitor star of higher than 3 solar masses. The very low C/O and N/O abundance ratios suggest a likely post-common envelope close binary system. A simple spherically symmetric geometry with either a blackbody or a H-deficient stellar atmosphere model is not able to reproduce the ionisation structure of Vy 1-2. The effective temperature and luminosity of its central star indicate a young nebula located at a distance of ~9.7 kpc with an age of ~3500 years. The detection of stellar emission lines, C II 6461 A, the doublet C IV λλ 5801, 5812 A and O III 5592 A, emitted from a H-deficient star, indicates the presence of a late-type Wolf-Rayet or a WEL type central star.

Energy and structural properties of $N$-boson clusters attached to three-body Efimov states: Two-body zero-range interactions and the role of the three-body regulator

description: The low-energy spectrum of $N$-boson clusters with pairwise zero-range interactions is believed to be governed by a three-body parameter. We study the ground state of $N$-boson clusters with infinite two-body $s$-wave scattering length by performing {\em{ab initio}} Monte Carlo simulations. To prevent Thomas collapse, different finite-range three-body regulators are used. The energy and structural properties for the three-body Hamiltonian with two-body zero-range interactions and three-body regulator are in much better agreement with the "ideal zero-range Efimov theory" results than those for Hamiltonian with two-body finite-range interactions. For larger clusters we find that the ground state energy and structural properties of the Hamiltonian with two-body zero-range interactions and finite-range three-body regulators are not universally determined by the three-body parameter, i.e., dependences on the specific form of the three-body regulator are observed. For comparison, we consider Hamiltonian with two-body van der Waals interactions and no three-body regulator. For the interactions considered, the ground state energy of the $N$-body clusters is---if scaled by the three-body ground state energy---fairly universal, i.e., the dependence on the short-range details of the two-body van der Waals potentials is small. Our results are compared with the literature.

description: Radial velocity measurements are presented for 85 late M- and L-type very low mass stars and brown dwarfs obtained with the Magellan Echellette (MagE) spectrograph. Targets primarily have distances within 20 pc of the Sun, with more distant sources selected for their unusual spectral energy distributions. We achieved precisions of 2--3 km/s, and combined these with astrometric and spectrophotometric data to calculate $UVW$ velocities. Most are members of the thin disk of the Galaxy, and velocity dispersions indicate a mean age of 5.2$\pm$0.2 Gyr for sources within 20 pc. We find significantly different kinematic ages between late-M dwarfs (4.0$\pm$0.2 Gyr) and L dwarfs (6.5$\pm$0.4 Gyr) in our sample that are contrary to predictions from prior simulations. This difference appears to be driven by a dispersed population of unusually blue L dwarfs which may be more prevalent in our local volume-limited sample than in deeper magnitude-limited surveys. The L dwarfs exhibit an asymmetric $U$ velocity distribution with a net inward flow, similar to gradients recently detected in local stellar samples. Simulations incorporating brown dwarf evolution and Galactic orbital dynamics are unable to reproduce the velocity asymmetry, suggesting non-axisymmetric perturbations or two distinct L dwarf populations. We also find the L dwarfs to have a kinematic age-activity correlation similar to more massive stars. We identify several sources with low surface gravities, and two new substellar candidate members of nearby young moving groups: the astrometric binary DENIS J08230313$-$4912012AB, a low-probability member of the $β$ Pictoris Moving Group; and 2MASS J15104786-2818174, a moderate-probability member of the 30-50 Myr Argus Association.

description: Efficient coupling between solid state quantum emitters and plasmonic waveguides is important for the realization of integrated circuits for quantum information, communication and sensing. However, realization of plasmonic circuits is still scarce, particularly due to challenges associated with accurate positioning of quantum emitters near plasmonic resonators. Current pathways for the construction of plasmonic circuits involve cumbersome and costly methods such as scanning atomic force microscopy or mechanical manipulation, where individual elements are physically relocated using the scanning tip. Here, we introduce a simple, fast and cost effective chemical self-assembly method for the attachment of two primary components of a practical plasmonic circuit: a single photon emitter and a waveguide. Our method enables coupling of nanodiamonds with a single quantum emitter (the nitrogen-vacancy (NV) center) onto the terminal of a silver nanowire, by simply varying the concentration of ascorbic acid (AA) in a reaction solution. The AA concentration is used to control the extent of agglomeration, and can be optimised so as to cause preferential, selective activation of the tips of the nanowires. The nanowire-nanodiamond structures show efficient plasmonic coupling of fluorescence emission from single NV centers into surface plasmon polariton (SPP) modes, evidenced by a more than two-fold reduction in fluorescence lifetime and an increase in fluorescence intensity.

description: Doping at the rare-earth site by divalent alkaline-earth ions in perovskite lattice has witnessed a variety of magnetic and electronic orders with spatially correlated charge, spin and orbital degrees of freedom. Here, we report an antisite disorder driven spontaneous exchange bias effect as a result of hole carrier (Sr2+) doping in La2-xSrxCoMnO6 (0 < x < 1) double perovskites. X-ray diffraction and Raman spectroscopy have evidenced an increase in disorder with the increase of Sr content up to x = 0.5 and thereby decreases from x = 0.5 to 1. X-ray absorption spectroscopy has revealed that only Co is present in mixed valent Co2+ and Co3+ states with Sr doping to compensate the charge neutrality. Magnetotransport is strongly correlated with the increase of antisite disorder. The antisite disorder at the B-site interrupts the long-range ferromagnetic order by introducing various magnetic interactions and instigates reentrant glassy dynamics, phase separation and canted type antiferromagnetic behavior with the decrease of temperature. This leads to novel magnetic microstructure with unidirectional anisotropy that causes spontaneous exchange bias effect that can be tuned with the amount of antisite disorder.

Liver Abscesses in Beef Cattle

Year: 2000

description: The prevalence and economic impact of liver abscesses in feedlot cattle are well documented.7 Abscessed livers in slaughtered feedlot cattle generally result from an aggressive feeding program, with incidence averaging from 12% to 32% in most feedlots.3 Because liver abscesses are secondary to ruminal acidosis and rumenitis, such feeding practices as rapid increase in energy intake and poor or inconsistent bunk management - characterized by irregular feeding (both amounts and intervals) - promote a higher incidence of liver abscesses.4 While abscesses are the leading cause ofliver condemnation, the greatest economic impact of liver abscesses is from reduced animal performance and carcass yield. Reported effects of abscesses on animal performance have ranged from no effect to a depression in daily gain as great as 11% and a decrease in feed efficiency as much as 9.7%.3 Cattle with multiple and/or large liver abscesses also may require more carcass trimming because of adhesion of abscesses to the diaphragm and surrounding organs. In some instances, condemnation of the entire viscera is necessary, contributing to significant economic loss.

Cows with a history of laminitis lesions were culled during the current lactation at a rate 1. 77 times higher than cows with no laminitis lesions. A history of laminitis in the current lactation significantly increased the likelihood of culling due to foot and leg problems, reproduction, mastitis, low production and other reasons. Overall, laminitis was associated with 9.8% of culling in the entire herd and 43.5% of culling among cows with a history of laminitis.

EFFECTIVELY DISENFRANCHISED? FRAMING AND THE YOUTH CLIMATE MOVEMENT IN THE UNITED STATES
Creators: name: Young, Kayla M
Publisher: name: Purdue University Graduate School
Year: 2023
Subjects: Political science not elsewhere classified

description: A worldwide movement has emerged in recent years, bringing millions of young people together to demand action on climate change. While youths’ high level of vulnerability to climate change could make them especially credible, and therefore powerful, messengers on this topic, there has been relatively little scholarly attention on youth activism and the nuances of framing by youth climate activists in particular. This gap may be especially important in the United States, which represents a substantial portion of global emissions but has historically struggled to establish enduring climate policy. Can this new generation of activists – many of whom are not yet old enough to vote – uniquely impact climate policy in the United States? My dissertation uses a multi-method approach to explore this question, focusing on communication by youth activists. I begin by examining the distinct frames that U.S. youth activists use to describe the issue of climate change, and exploring how they perceive those messages will influence the policymaking process. I do this using interview data with youth activists and examining Tweets, finding that youth activists often rely on climate science frames rather than justice-related frames that arguably “fit” well with their identities and vulnerabilities as youth. Next, I consider the effect of different climate frames on three sets of actors relevant to policymaking on this issue: (i) the general (adult) public, (ii) the youth public, and (iii) policymakers. More specifically, I draw on data from an original survey experiment and interviews with local- and state-level officials. I find clear evidence that the “fit” between message framing and messenger source matters – youth can be effective messengers about climate change, but particularly when they invoke arguments about the intergenerational and environmental injustices of climate inaction. The role of source identity is a critical contribution to the political communication and climate framing literature. Although many scholars have pointed to source identity as an important factor, the relationship between message content and source identity has been underexamined in the literature regarding climate change to date. This study also contributes to the framing literature through a focus on age as an important facet of source identity and by examining the causal influence of justice-based frames. Finally, this study aims to contribute to the social movement literature by a focus on the unique impacts of communication by youth climate activists. Given youths’ high level of vulnerability to climate impacts, this dissertation work could have notable environmental justice implications as well.

description: The design and development of inexpensive highly efficient electrocatalysts for hydrogen production, underpins several emerging clean-energy technologies. In this work, for the first time, molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) nanodots have been synthesized by ionic liquid assisted grinding exfoliation of bulk platelets and isolated by sequential centrifugation. The nanodots have a thickness of up to 7 layers (4 nm) and an average lateral size smaller than 20 nm. Detailed structural characterization established that the nanodots retained the crystalline quality and low oxidation states of the bulk material. The small lateral size and reduced number of layers provided these nanodots with an easier path for the electron transport and plentiful active sites for the catalysis of hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) in acidic electrolyte. The MoS2 nanodots exhibited good durability and a Tafel slope of 61 mVdec-1 with an estimated onset potential of -0.09 V vs RHE, which are considered among the best values achieved for 2H phase. It is envisaged that this work may provide a simplistic route to synthesize a wide range of 2D layered nanodots that have applications in water splitting and other energy related technologies.

description: The success of the first three years of operations of the LHC at center-of-mass energies of 7 and 8 TeV radically changed the landscape of searches for new physics beyond the standard model and our very way of thinking about its possible origin and its hiding place. Among the paradigms of new physics that have been probed quite extensively at the LHC, are various models that predict the existence of extra spatial dimensions. In this review, the current status of searches for extra dimensions with the CMS detector is presented, along with prospects for future searches at the full energy of the LHC, expected to be reached in the next few years.

Methods: We reviewed SRs and meta-analyses published in JAMA, Lancet, and Annals of Internal Medicine from January 2012 to December 2015, selecting those journals as high impact factor journals that have published over more than 50 SRs per year since 2012. We required that all papers in our analysis report a complete search strategy, with the total number of citations retrieved from each database and a complete list of articles included in the final analysis. We then used lists of included journals from each database to determine in which database(s) each of the included articles were indexed, and we calculated the percentage of articles included in each SR that could be located by searching each database. We then compared the number of results added by searching each additional database to the total number of papers added to the review phase to estimate the amount of work required for each additional paper identified. Results: Ninety-seven SRs met our inclusion criteria. These SRs included an average of 48.13 journal articles and searched an average of 4.43 databases each. Of these, the journal articles included in 16 SRs could all be found in one database; the articles included in 58 SRs could all be found in two databases. For 20 SRs, all included articles could be found in three databases, and the remaining three SRs included articles that could be found in four databases. For 96 SRs, over 90% of articles could be found in two databases. Conclusions: In total, 99% of articles included in each SR were found in two databases, with the majority being found in PubMed/MEDLINE, Embase, or Cochrane. SRs that found articles in three or more databases screened an additional 923 records in order to find one additional included article, plus an additional 2410 records from databases that did not return any additional included articles, adding an average of 756 hours of work to each SR. SRs for which articles were found in four databases screened an average of 1440 records in order to find one additional included article, plus an additional 8963 records from databases that did not return any additional included articles.

description: We present quantum oscillations observed in the heavy fermion compound YbPtBi in magnetic fields far beyond its field-tuned, quantum critical point. Quantum oscillations are observed in magnetic fields as low as 60 kOe at 60 mK and up to temperatures as high as 3 K, which confirms the very high quality of the samples as well as the small effective mass of conduction carriers far from the quantum critical point. Although the electronic specific heat coefficient of YbPtBi reaches ~ 7.4 J/mol K2 in zero field, which is one of the highest effective mass value among heavy fermion systems, it is suppressed quickly by applied magnetic field. The quantum oscillations were used to extract the quasiparticle effective masses of the order of the bare electron mass, which is consistent with the behavior observed in specific heat measurements. Such a small effective masses at high fields can be understood by considering the suppression of Kondo screening.

description: We have investigated magnetocaloric effect in double perovskite Gd2NiMnO6 (GNMO) and Gd2CoMnO6 (GCMO) samples by magnetic and heat capacity measurements. Ferromagnetic ordering is observed at ~130 K (~112 K) in GNMO (GCMO), while the Gd exchange interactions seem to dominate for T < 20 K. In GCMO, below 50 K, an antiferromagnetic behaviour due to 3d-4f exchnage interaction is observed. A maximum entropy (-ΔSM) and adiabatic temperature change of ~35.5 J Kg-1 K-1 (~24 J Kg-1 K-1) and 10.5 K (6.5 K) is observed in GNMO (GCMO) for a magnetic field change of 7 T at low temperatures. Absence of magnetic and thermal hysteresis and their insulating nature make them promising for low temperature magnetic refrigeration.

description: This paper is devoted to development of perturbation theory for studying the properties of graphene sheet of finite size, at nonzero temperature and chemical potential. The perturbation theory is based on the tight-binding Hamiltonian and arbitrary interaction potential between electrons, which is considered as a perturbation. One-loop corrections to the electron propagator and to the interaction potential at nonzero temperature and chemical potential are calculated. One-loop formulas for the energy spectrum of electrons in graphene, for the renormalized Fermi velocity and also for the dielectric permittivity are derived.

An Analysis of the Matching Hypothesis in Networks

description: The matching hypothesis in social psychology claims that people are more likely to form a committed relationship with someone equally attractive. Previous works on stochastic models of human mate choice process indicate that patterns supporting the matching hypothesis could occur even when similarity is not the primary consideration in seeking partners. Yet, most if not all of these works concentrate on fully-connected systems. Here we extend the analysis to networks. Our results indicate that the correlation of the couple's attractiveness grows monotonically with the increased average degree and decreased degree diversity of the network. This correlation is lower in sparse networks than in fully-connected systems, because in the former less attractive individuals who find partners are likely to be coupled with ones who are more attractive than them. The chance of failing to be matched decreases exponentially with both the attractiveness and the degree. The matching hypothesis may not hold when the degree-attractiveness correlation is present, which can give rise to negative attractiveness correlation. Finally, we find that the ratio between the number of matched couples and the size of the maximum matching varies non-monotonically with the average degree of the network. Our results reveal the role of network topology in the process of human mate choice and bring insights into future investigations of different matching processes in networks.

Health Economics Models for Genomics in Healthcare

Health Technology Assessment

description: Please note that the scope of this Deliverable has been extended following feedback from the reviewers and the title “Health Economics Models for Genomics in Healthcare - Recommendations for the application of Health Technology Assessment and Health Economics to genomics in the framework of the 1+MG Initiative” best describes the Deliverable after the introduced changes. The B1MG Work Package 5 (WP5) has among its tasks one dedicated to address health economics aspects of the adoption of genomics in health-care. As a result of the activities performed by the WP5 is this deliverable that tries to contribute to the discussions about a sustainable implementation of genomics in the European countries providing recommendations about Health Technology Assessment and Health Economics and their application to genomics. It is necessary to clarify that the HTA concept includes Health Economics as one of the essential domains to be evaluated. In order to elaborate this document the WP5 has organised a workshop entitled “Health Technology Assessment and Health Economics of Genomics in Health-care: Key Issues for Implementation”. The workshop was organised with the objective of providing insights and facilitating discussion on experiences of national genome initiatives and/or relevant projects from Canada, France, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom. A total of 218 participants from 40 different countries were registered, mainly from academia, governmental organisations and industry. Researchers from ISCIII, Lygature and INSA coordinated the elaboration of this deliverable that is based on the experiences shared and lessons learned in the workshop and during the preparation of the workshop. This activity has been useful to identify some key challenges for a successful application of the HTA methods to genomics. In addition the activity has served to develop a series of key recommendations, some related to the role of HTA in genomics, others with methodology and others about opportunities for international collaboration.

description: We aimed to verify the nature and derive the basic parameters of the symbiotic star candidate [JD2002] 11. For this purpose, we obtained and analysed an X-Shooter spectrum of [JD2002] 11. We also used optical and infrared photometry available for the object. Emission-line diagnostic ratios are characteristic of a dusty type symbiotic star and reveal a two-component nebula (low- and high-density). The spectral energy distribution is well fitted with a two-component blackbody spectrum with the respective temperatures of 1150 K and 600 K. The total luminosity of $\rm 3000\,L_{\odot}$ is consistent with the expected luminosity of a typical Mira star, embedded in an optically thick dust shell. We conclude that [JD2002] 11 is the ninth symbiotic star in total and only the second dusty type symbiotic star discovered in the Small Magellanic Cloud.
