Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2019

description: The KEDR experiment is ongoing at the VEPP-4M e+e- collider at Budker INP in Novosibirsk. The collider center of mass energy range covers wide area from 2 to 11 GeV. Most of the up-to-date statistics were taken at the lower end of the energy range around charmonia region. Planned activities at greater energies up to bottomonia would lead to significant rise of event recording rates and accelerator backgrounds, thus stressing the existing DAQ and trigger systems beyond their limits. To operate at higher energies, we need to: - reduce trigger decision time - reduce time of transferring digitized data from electronics to computers Described in the presentation DAQ upgrade plan includes: * Re-design of trigger electronics using modern components to improve trigger decision time * Development of new readout processors using ethernet connections * New software for collecting events and electronics management * High level of parallelization of data transfers and events processing * Improved reliability based on readout computing cluster with redundancy The upgraded DAQ system is very flexible and could be considered as a concept prototype for the perspective BINP project of Super Charm-Tau Factory.

description: Experimental observations and advanced computer simulations in High Energy Physics (HEP) paved way for the recent discoveries at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN. Currently, Monte Carlo simulations account for a very significant amount of computational resources of the Worldwide LHC Computing Grid (WLCG). In looking at the recent trends in modern computer architectures we see a significant deficit in expected growth in performance. Coupled with the increasing compute demand for High Luminosity (HL-LHC) run, it becomes vital to address this shortfall with more efficient simulation. The simulation software for particle tracking algorithms of the LHC experiments predominantly relies on the Geant4 simulation toolkit. The Geant4 framework can be built using either dynamic or static libraries, the former being the more widely used approach. This study focuses on evaluating the impact of having libraries statically vs dynamically linked, on the simulation software's execution time. Two versions of the GCC compiler, namely 4.8.5 and 8.2.0, have been used for these investigations. In addition, a comparison between four optimization levels (Os, O1, O2 and O3) have also been performed. The results show that the static approach, for both the GCC versions considered, reduces the execution time by more than 10% in some cases. Regardless of the build approach, switching from GCC 4.8.5 to GCC 8.2.0 results in an average of 30% improvement in the execution time. In particular, a static build with GCC 8.2.0 leads to an improvement of almost 34% with respect to the default configuration (GCC 4.8.5, dynamic, O2). The different GCC optimizations do not seem to have visible effects on the execution time.

description: Is it actually possible to interpret gravitation as space's property in a pure classical way. Then, we note that extended self-gravitating system equilibrium depends directly on the number of dimension of the space in which it evolves. Given those precisions, we review the principal thermodynamical knowledge in the context of classical gravity with arbitrary dimension of space. Stability analyses for bounded 3D systems, namely the Antonov instability paradigm, are then rapproched to some amazing properties of globular clusters and galaxies.

Simulation and use of a centrifugal bioreactor for mammalian cell and tissue culture
Creators: name: Detzel, Christopher James
Publisher: name: Washington State University
Year: 2009
Subjects: Bioreactors -- Experiments

description: Increasing demand for tissue, proteins, and antibodies derived from mammalian cell cultures is limited by low protein yields and growth rates. Host productivity may be increased through genomic modification while volumetric productivity is maximized through novel bioreactor research to increase maximum cell culture density. The centrifugal bioreactor (CCBR) is a novel bioreactor which can be used to increases volumetric productivity by maintaining densities above 108 cells/mL using counter-flow centrifugation to immobilize cells. System rotation necessary for cell immobilization in the CCBR results in Coriolis forces that affect momentum transport. At operating conditions typical of cell culture, 300-1200 RPM and inlet velocities of 4-16 cm/s, Coriolis forces dominate system fluid dynamics and streamlines indicate preferential flow along the leading wall of the reactor to the chamber's widest point, after which fluid transverses the reactor to the trailing wall. This unique flow profile is completely disrupted during cell culture leading to uniform flow through the cell bed creating a well mixed fluidized bed of cells. These phenomena are observed experimentally and in numerical simulation results of the CCBR reactor chamber during operation. The uniform high cell density fluidized bed in the CCBR is maintained through convective transport of nutrients and metabolites allowing for the development of a hybridoma growth rate kinetic model from low density batch experiments. A model has been developed to predict glucose, lactate, ammonium ion, and monoclonal antibody concentrations during reactor operation within 13%. This model provides a tool to determine necessary dilution rates to ensure the maximum cellular growth rate is maintained at any operational cell density. Finally, CCBR applicability has been expanded to include adherent cells which can be mechanically stimulated with multiple mechanical forces resulting from the unique method of cell immobilization. Isolated chondrocytes were stimulated with hydrostatic pressure and low shear during 3 weeks cultures, after which a solid tissue construct resulted. When compared with pellet cultures, the CCBR constructs contained similar levels of both glycosaminoglycan and collagen, per weight of DNA. Optimization of mechanical force magnitudes and stimulation regimens will provide a unique model system for the future study of cartilage development and degeneration.
Monte Carlo event generator with model-independent new physics effect for B->K(*)ll decays

description: At the high luminosity flavor factory experiments such as the Belle II experiment, it is expected to find the new physics effect and constrain the new physics models with the high statics and many observables. In such analysis, the global analysis of the many observables with the model-independent approach is important. One difficulty in such global analysis is that the new physics could affect the numerical results obtained by experiments assuming the Standard Model, because of the changes of the reconstructed kinematical distributions used in the event selection and in the fitting to obtain the number of signal and background events. Therefore, it is also important to prepare the event generator including the new physics effects for the Monte Carlo simulation of the detector response to estimate and consider the effects properly in the global analysis. In this work, we present development of the event generator of B->K(*)ll decays including the new physics effect in the model-independent way by parametrizing with the Wilson coefficients. We implement the decay model using the EvtGen [https://evtgen.hepforge.org/] framework so that it can be applicable in the analysis software framework of the B physics experiments. For the theoretical calculation of the new physics effect we consider the EOS [https://eos.github.io/] library and other possible calculations. We report the results obtained by the developed event generator and application in the global analysis.

However, a short cut for charged pion polarizability - the Das, Mathur, Okubo Sum Rule - can readily be calculated using lattice techniques. A phenomenological model has been developed to fit the time behavior of the propagators in this expression. Numerical systematics are discussed and some preliminary results are presented.

Dislocation interactions with interfaces
Creators: name: Akarapu, Sreekanth
Publisher: name: Washington State University
Year: 2009
Subjects: Strains and stresses

description: In this dissertation work, our main focus was to investigate the interactions of dislocation with interfaces. Plastic deformation in polycrystalline materials and multi-layered metallic composites, on a microscopic scale, involve interaction of dislocations with grain boundaries and bi-material interfaces respectively. Towards the end of investigating the interaction of dislocations with bi-material interface, we have derived analytical expressions for the stress field due to an arbitrary dislocation segment in an isotropic inhomogeneous medium. We have developed a new approach as compared with attempts made in the literature. One of the main advantages our derivation is separation of solution into homogeneous and image parts which facilitates an easy modification of existing dislocation dynamics simulation codes to incorporate the image stress effect. In the case of polycrystalline materials, as grain boundaries are major obstacles to plastic deformation, it is of fundamental importance to study the interactions of dislocations with grain boundaries. Towards this goal, in chapter four, we have investigated the basic phenomena of transmission of dislocation through a pure tilt wall. In this work, we have studied the structure of the symmetric tilt wall acquired after transmission of several dislocations and modeled the structures to which it relaxes. In chapter five, digressing from the main theme of the dissertation, we have studied the kinematic and thermodynamics effect of representing discrete dislocations in terms of continuously distributed dislocations. In this work, we have considered infinite stacked double ended pile-ups in an isotropic elastic homogeneous medium. The error in number of dislocations, microstructural energy and slip distribution between discrete and semi-discrete representation was quantified. The asymptotic expressions are derived and threshold values of certain key parameters are also deduced. In the appendix, we have investigated the deformation of single crystal micropillars under uniaxial compression using a multi-scale model for plasticity. Our simulation results are qualitatively and quantitatively comparable with that of experiments. Dislocation arm operation was found to be the prominent mechanism to plastic deformation in micron to submicron size specimens. The observed strain hardening is attributed to the formation of entangled dislocation structures and stagnation of dislocations.

description: Any Z_2-graded C*-dynamical system with a self-adjoint graded-KMS functional on it can be represented (canonically) as a Z_2-graded algebra of bounded operators on a Z_2-graded Hilbert space, so that the grading of the latter is compatible with the functional. The modular conjugation operator plays a crucial role in this reconstruction. The results are generalized to the case of an unbounded graded-KMS functional having as dense domain the union of a net of C*-subalgebras. It is shown that the modulus of such an unbounded graded-KMS functional is KMS.

Structural defects and properties of multicomponent materials

Subjects: Materials -- Mechanical properties

description: The relationship between the structure and properties of materials determine the behavior and performance of devices ranging from microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) to solid state lasers. This thesis focuses on two classes of materials used in high performance applications; metallic multilayer films and materials for optical applications. In the first case Mo/Pt multilayers are investigated as an alternative to Pt thin film electrodes for piezoelectric MEMS, whose strength is a limiting factor in improving the performance of the device. In the second case ceramic YAG, a common lasing medium for solid state lasers whose optical properties determine the beam quality, is investigated. In both cases material properties, mechanical in the first case and optical in the second, depend on microstructure hence improving device performance involves a better understanding of this relationship. Mo/Pt multilayers with layer thicknesses ranging from 20 to 100 nm were sputtered. The mechanical properties of the nanocomposites were evaluated using both nanoindentation and bulge testing. It was shown that the hardness of the multilayers increased as the layer thickness decreased with the behavior of the films deviating from a Hall Petch type of dependency for the smaller layer thicknesses used in this study. Aging of the films in air further improved their hardness indicating an additional strengthening mechanism. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy revealed the presence of oxides in the aged samples pointing to precipitate hardening as the reason for the additional strengthening of the films. MEMS processing involves high temperatures in oxidizing environments hence the thermal stability of the nanolayers was also investigated. It was shown that structures with thicker layers maintained a substantial fraction of their strength and integrity. Ceramic YAG is produced with the use of silica as a sintering aid. Improving the optical properties of ceramic YAG involves elimination of the scattering sources in the final products. Investigation of precipitate formation as a function of stoichiometry and processing conditions, using primarily Scanning Electron Microscopy and X-ray Dispersive Spectroscopy, showed that staying on stoichiometry and reducing the amount of silica in the sintering process will effectively decrease or even eliminate the presence of precipitates.

description: For the High Luminosity LHC, the CMS collaboration made the ambitious choice of a high granularity design to replace the existing endcap calorimeters. The thousands of particles coming from the multiple interactions create showers in the calorimeters, depositing energy simultaneously in adjacent cells. The data are analog to 3D gray-scale image that should be properly reconstructed. In this talk we will investigate how to localize and identify the thousands of showers in such events with a Deep Neural Network model. This problem is well-known in the Vision domain, it belongs to the challenging class: "Object Detection" which is significantly a harder task than "only" an image classification/regression because of the mixed goals : the cluster/pattern identification (cluster type), its localization (bounding box), and the object segmentation (mask) in the scene. Our project presents a lot of similarities with the ones treated in Industry but accumulates several technological challenges like the 3D treatment. We will present the Mask R-CNN model which has already proven its efficiency in Industry (for 2D images) and how we extended it to tackle 3D HGCAL data. To conclude we will present the first results of this challenge.

I have argued for over a decade that F.F. Bosworth matters, and he matters in a significant way, especially in Pentecostal Church History. This article shows how Bosworth's influence extended to church leaders outside the Pentecostal tradition. Using Lyle Dorsett's book as a reference, it presents Bosworth's advice to a young A.W. Tozer, who would go on to become a famous author of deeper life books. Both men were members of the Christian and Missionary Alliance. Bosworth spoke to Tozer about the ministry of healing and speaking in tongues.

description: Transition metal oxide heterostructures and interfaces host a variety of exciting quantum phases and can be grown with atomic-scale precision by utilising the intensity oscillations of $in$ $situ$ reflection high-energy electron diffraction (RHEED). However, establishing a stable oscillation pattern in the growth calibration of complex oxides films is very challenging and time consuming. Here, we develop a substantially more efficient and reliable growth calibration method for complex oxide films using molecular beam epitaxy.

Subjects: Apple industry -- Washington (State) -- History

description: By the 1920s, Washington had surpassed New York as the leading apple-producing state in the nation. While boosters argued that the state s success was due to favorable natural conditions, the development of the fruit industry was also the result of corporate investment, real estate promotion, science and technology, the construction of large infrastructure systems, and modern marketing methods. In short, the combined efforts of the railroads, real estate boosters, agricultural colleges, growers cooperatives, and individual farmers working toward the common goal of growing high quality apples made the industry successful. The period from 1890 to 1930 was an era of experimentation as experts studied various aspects of the apple industry from planting trees to consumer purchases. In this respect, the Washington apple industry was part of the national trend toward industrialization and consolidation. Washington was 3,000 miles from eastern markets, so it benefited from the construction of transcontinental rail lines and the increased demand for commercially-grown fruit in urban areas. Irrigation projects turned the sage-covered Yakima and Wenatchee valleys of central Washington into the most profitable apple-growing regions in the state. Scientific and technological advancements allowed farmers to grow high-quality, pest-free fruit. In response to high shipping costs, growers adopted modern marketing and advertising methods, such as branded labels, print ads, and recipe booklets, to convince consumers to pay more for Washington apples when less expensive, eastern apples were plentiful. Growers set Washington apples apart by emphasizing standardization, and they formed cooperatives that worked closely with the railroads to enforce high quality grading standards, coordinate shipments, and open new markets for their fruit. Initially, dozens of varieties were grown in Washington, by the 1930s, as part of the trend toward standardization, only four key varieties were grown commercially. Despite their reluctance, these orchardists gradually moved toward industrialization, and by the 1920s, Washington growers had become the leading apple-producing state in the nation. This study uses the corporate records of the Great Northern and Northern Pacific Railways, local newspapers, agricultural bulletins from Washington State College, and Better Fruit, the leading horticultural magazine in the Pacific Northwest.

We also detail the connection between the Aizenman-Sims-Starr variational principle and the Parisi formula. As a final application of the techniques, we rederive the Almeida-Thouless line in the spirit of Toninelli but relying on the RPC structure.

"Observe overall cleanliness and sound mannerisms at all times!" – Regulating Australian Muslims in mosques and Islamic prayer spaces

description: This master’s thesis explores how behavioral norms and expectations are communicated to Australian Muslims through signage in mosques and Islamic prayer areas. Set in the context of secular and multicultural Australia, the growing Muslim community is highly linguistically and culturally diverse. It is also subject to higher levels of scrutiny, surveillance, and regulation than other faiths.
Against this background, this thesis undertakes a Linguistic Landscape study of regulatory signage in Australian mosques and Islamic prayer spaces. 130 instruction and prohibition signs were collected from 19 places of worship in three cities through a citizen science approach. These were analyzed for the linguistic and semiotic choices and strategies used to regulate the behavior of worshippers.
The study finds that English language signage predominates in the data collected. The functional use of other languages is extremely rare, and Arabic is used for symbolic purposes. The signs regulate several behaviors and use a range of politeness strategies to mitigate impositions on readers. Observance of religious and civic obligations are constructed as a requirement for inclusion in mosques.
The research contributes to understanding communication practices and behavior regulation in the Australian Muslim community. This has implications for the design and delivery of public service communication in a multicultural society.

description: Increased operational effectiveness and the dynamic integration of only temporarily available compute resources (opportunistic resources) becomes more and more important in the next decade, due to the scarcity of resources for future high energy physics experiments as well as the desired integration of cloud and high performance computing resources. This results in a more heterogenous compute environment, which gives rise to huge challenges for the computing operation teams of the experiments. At the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology we design solutions to tackle these challenges. In order to ensure an efficient utilization of opportunistic resources and unified access to the entire infrastructure, we developed the Transparent Adaptive Resource Dynamic Integration System (**TARDIS**). A scalable multi-agent resource manager providing interfaces to provision as well as dynamically and transparently integrate resources of various providers into one common overlay batch system. Operational effectiveness is guaranteed by relying on **COBalD** - the Opportunistic Balancing Daemon and its simple approach of taking into account the utilization and allocation of the different resource types, in order to run the individual workflows on the best-suited resource respectively. In this contribution we will present the current status of integrating various HPC centers and cloud providers into the compute infrastructure at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology as well as our experiences gained in a production environment.

Dynamical Influences of the Last Magellanic Interaction On the Magellanic Clouds

description: We investigate the present distributions of gas and young stars in the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds (LMC and SMC) based on fully self-consistent numerical simulations of the Clouds for the last ~ 0.8 Gyr. Our principal results, which can be tested against observations, are as follows. The last dynamical and hydrodynamical interaction between the Clouds about ~ 0.2 Gyr ago can form the apparently off-center bar and peculiar HI spirals of the LMC. The present spatial distributions of young stars with ages less than 20 Myr in the LMC can be significantly asymmetric and clumpy owing to the interaction. A small but non-negligible fraction of stellar and gaseous components can be transferred from the SMC into the LMC during the interaction to form diffuse halo components around the LMC. The burst of star formation in the SMC can be synchronized with that of the LMC about 0.2 Gyr ago in some models. New stars can form from gas in the SMC's tidal tails, one of which can be observed as the Magellanic Bridge (MB). The metallicity distribution function of new stars in the MB has a peak of [Fe/H] ~ -0.8, which is significantly smaller than the stellar metallicity of the SMC. Based on these results, we discuss the origin of 30 Doradus, the southern molecular ridge of the LMC, the globular cluster ESO 121-SC03, metal-poor inter-Cloud stars within the MB, and giant HI holes of the LMC.

description: Fluctuations in societal beliefs towards sexually based crimes are plagued by the same continuous cycles of media attention to which most matters of public interests are subject. To perceive women as sexually aggressive is contrary to traditional sexual scripts which are gendered constructs formulated by our patriarchal society. Through the use of quantitative content analysis, this exploratory study examines whether it is possible to adequately measure through media reports the concepts and attributes derived from the social science literature about female offenders who commit sexually based crimes against children. Data collection and analysis based on the combination of the sex of the perpetrator, the level of violence associated with the criminal offense, and the overall tone of the media publications are examined to determine if a disconnect exists between what we know about sex offenders through social science research and how they are portrayed in the media.

description: The electronic and structural properties of excitons and trions in monolayer transition metal dichalcogenides are investigated using both a multiband and a single-band model. In the multiband model we construct the excitonic Hamiltonian in the product base of the single-particle states at the conduction and valence band edges. We decouple the corresponding energy eigenvalue equation and solve the resulting differential equation self-consistently, using the finite element method (FEM), to determine the energy eigenvalues and the wave functions. As a comparison, we also consider the simple single-band model which is often used in numerical studies. We solve the energy eigenvalue equation using the FEM as well as with the stochastic variational method (SVM) in which a variational wave function is expanded in a basis of a large number of correlated Gaussians. We find good agreement between the results of both methods, as well as with other theoretical works for excitons, and we also compare with available experimental data. For trions the agreement between both methods is not as good due to our neglect of angular correlations when using the FEM. Finally, when comparing the two models, we see that the presence of the valence bands in the mutiband model leads to differences with the single-band model when (interband) interactions are strong.

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: Oligomers of styrene have been identified in polystyrene (PS) polymer samples intended for food packaging. Such oligomers contribute to nonintentionally added substances (NIAS) that may migrate into food or food simulants and therefore have to be assessed for the potential risk to health. No oligomers larger than dimers and trimers of styrene have been found to be present in PS. Some in vivo and in vitro information indicative of an endocrine activity for some specific oligomers suggest concerns for their potential for endocrine disruption in humans. Data on endocrine activity available from in vitro and in vivo screening approaches and from non-guideline studies in experimental animals were evaluated. The different test methods were classified according to the OECD Conceptual Framework for Testing and Assessment of Endocrine Disruptors (OECD) and the ranking system of Borgert et al. proposed in 2014. The quality and reliability of each study is further assessed by professional judgment. The integration of the total information supports the conclusion that neither specific oligomers, nor their mixtures, potentially migrating into food are endocrine disruptors according to the definition of EFSA and WHO/IPCS.
Towards a lattice calculation of the coefficients of the QCD chiral Lagrangian

description: We discuss a general strategy to compute the coefficients of QCD chiral Lagrangian by using the lattice regularization of QCD with Wilson fermions. This procedure requires the introduction of an effective Lagrangian for lattice QCD as an intermediate step in the calculation. The continuum QCD chiral Lagrangian can be then obtained by expanding the lattice effective Lagrangian in increasing powers of the external momenta. A suitable renormalization procedure is required to account for the chiral symmetry breaking introduced by the Wilson term in the lattice action. In anticipation of a numerical simulation, the lattice effective Lagrangian is computed analytically and investigated in the strong coupling and large $N$ limit

Computer simulation of radio frequency (RF) heating in dry food materials and quality evaluation of RF treated persimmons
Creators: name: Tiwari, Gopal
Publisher: name: Washington State University
Year: 2010
Subjects: Food Irradiation

description: Radio frequency (RF) heating is a novel heat treatment that has been explored for control of pests and pathogens in several agricultural commodities such as fresh fruits, dry nuts, food grains, legumes and flours. A major problem for the technology to be commercially applicable is its non uniform heating in different food materials. It is important to understand, investigate and analyze the complex behavior of RF heating. The present research was aimed to study RF heating uniformity in food materials. As a preliminary step of the research, RF heating was experimentally evaluated in Fuyu persimmon, a selected specialty crop fruit. The objective was to develop a RF based heat treatment protocol to control Mexican fruit fly in persimmon. Quality parameters, including weight loss, firmness, soluble solids, titratable acidity, peel and pulp color, and calyx browning of persimmons were evaluated after 7 days of RF heat treatments. Results showed that RF heat treatment provided potential for disinfestations of persimmons with acceptable quality. As a next step, a computer model was developed to simulate RF heating in dry food materials using finite element software FEMLAB. The aim of this part of the study was to understand the complex behavior of RF heating in the dry food materials. Whole wheat flour was selected as a representative material for dry food materials. Simulated and experimental results showed that temperature values were higher at the corners and lower sections of flour in a rectangular container after RF heating. The computer model was further used to investigate the effect of different influencing parameters on heating uniformity in dry food materials placed between two parallel electrodes. Results showed that smaller values of dielectric properties resulted in better RF power uniformities in the samples. RF power uniformity in cuboid shaped samples, placed on the bottom electrode, first decreased and then increased with the increase in sample size. Reducing electrode gap improved RF power uniformity. This research is useful to understanding the RF heating mechanism, to improve heating uniformity in agricultural commodities, and to design and scale up efficient RF systems.
Non-LTE aluminium abundances in late-type stars

description: Aluminium plays a key role in studies of the chemical enrichment of the Galaxy and of globular clusters. However, strong deviations from LTE (non-LTE) are known to significantly affect the inferred abundances in giant and metal-poor stars. We present NLTE modeling of aluminium using recent and accurate atomic data, in particular utilizing new transition rates for collisions with hydrogen atoms, without the need for any astrophysically calibrated parameters. For the first time, we perform 3D NLTE modeling of aluminium lines in the solar spectrum. We also compute and make available extensive grids of abundance corrections for lines in the optical and near-infrared using one-dimensional model atmospheres, and apply grids of precomputed departure coefficients to direct line synthesis for a set of benchmark stars with accurately known stellar parameters. Our 3D NLTE modeling of the solar spectrum reproduces observed center-to-limb variations in the solar spectrum of the 7835 Å line as well as the mid-infrared photospheric emission line at 12.33 micron. We infer a 3D NLTE solar photospheric abundance of A(Al) = 6.43+-0.03, in exact agreement with the meteoritic abundance. We find that abundance corrections vary rapidly with stellar parameters; for the 3961 Å resonance line, corrections are positive and may be as large as +1 dex, while corrections for subordinate lines generally have positive sign for warm stars but negative for cool stars. Our modeling reproduces the observed line profiles of benchmark K-giants, and we find abundance corrections as large as -0.3 dex for Arcturus. Our analyses of four metal-poor benchmark stars yield consistent abundances between the 3961 Å resonance line and lines in the UV, optical and near-infrared regions. Finally, we discuss implications for the galactic chemical evolution of aluminium.

description: Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate if somatosensory retraining programmes assist people to improve somatosensory discrimination skills and arm functioning after stroke. Data sources: Nine databases were systematically searched: Medline, Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature, PsychInfo, Embase, Amed, Web of Science, Physiotherapy Evidence Database, OT seeker, and Cochrane Library. Review methods: Studies were included for review if they involved (1) adult participants who had somatosensory impairment in the arm after stroke, (2) a programme targeted at retraining somatosensation, (3) a primary measure of somatosensory discrimination skills in the arm, and (4) an intervention study design (e.g. randomized or non-randomized control designs). Results: A total of 6779 articles were screened. Five group trials and five single case experimental designs were included (N = 199 stroke survivors). Six studies focused exclusively on retraining somatosensation and four studies focused on somatosensation and motor retraining. Standardized somatosensory measures were typically used for tactile, proprioception, and haptic object recognition modalities. Sensory intervention effect sizes ranged from 0.3 to 2.2, with an average effect size of 0.85 across somatosensory modalities. A majority of effect sizes for proprioception and tactile somatosensory domains were greater than 0.5, and all but one of the intervention effect sizes were larger than the control effect sizes, at least as point estimates. Six studies measured motor and/or functional arm outcomes (n = 89 participants), with narrative analysis suggesting a trend towards improvement in arm use after somatosensory retraining. Conclusion: Somatosensory retraining may assist people to regain somatosensory discrimination skills in the arm after stroke.
