Indonemoura trilongispina

description: Indonemoura trilongispina sp.n. Du & Wang (Figs. 8‐14) Material examined. Holotype ♂, China: Guizhou Province, Leigong Mountain, Xiaodan River, 685 m, 15‐17 September 2005, Wang Zhi‐ Jie. Paratypes 3 ♂, Maolan, Guizhou province, 22 October, 1996, Leg. Li Zi‐ Zhong. Adult habitus. Head and antennae black, head wider than pronotum; pronotum small, dark brown and nearly rectangular. Wings hyaline, brown, veins dark brown. Legs brown. Male. Forewing length 6.1 mm; hindwing length 5.2 mm. Tergum 9 unmodified. Hypoproct exceptionally long, slightly constricted medially with narrow, pointed tip reaching end of abdomen; vesicle slender (Fig. 9). Paraprocts trilobed; inner lobe small, triangular and poorly sclerotized; median lobe membranous subapically (Figs. 9, 11). Sclerotized portion with a wide rectangular base unsclerotized in the middle, and a long sclerotized bar extending parallel to inner lobe and bearing a subapical spine and slightly inwardly directed acute apex; outer lobe mostly sclerotized, elongate, lying parallel to distal part of median lobe, and recurved dorsally alongside cerci. Epiproct long and narrow, apex extended over tergum 9 and covered with a layer of membrane; dorsal sclerite sclerotized and consisting of two ridges raised in lateral view (Figs. 8, 10, 12‐14); narrow, thin lateral arms divided into sclerotized bars which extend to base of epiproct; bars armed with a row of tiny black ventral spines along the keel and three longer spines distally on each bar. Ventral sclerite bearing a pair of knob like subapical structures. Female. Unknown. Distribution. Guizhou Province (Leigong Mountain), China. Remarks. Although Baumann (1975) did not list any Chinese species in genus Indonemoura, we believe several nemourid species of Wu might belong to this genus. Unfortunately, none of these species are represented by type material (Zhu et al. 2002). Etymology. The name refers to the three pairs of long spines on the ventral sclerite of the epiproct.

A dynamical analysis of the proposed HU Aquarii planetary system

description: It has recently been suggested that the eclipsing polar HU Aquarii is host to at least two giant planets. We have performed highly detailed dynamical analysis of the orbits of those planets and show that the proposed system is highly unstable on timescales of < 5\times 10$^3$ years. For the coplanar orbits suggested in the discovery letter, we find stable orbital solutions for the planetary system only if the outer body moves on an orbit that brings it no closer to the host star than ~ 6 AU. The required periastron distance for the outer planet lies approximately 5 Hill radii beyond the orbit of the inner planet, and well beyond the 1-σ error bars placed on the orbit of the outer planet in the discovery letter. If the orbits of the proposed planets are significantly inclined with respect to one another, the median stability increases slightly, but such systems still become destabilised on astronomically minute timescales (typically within a few 10$^4$ years). Only in the highly improbable scenario where the outer planet follows a retrograde but coplanar orbit (i.e. inclined by 180 degrees to the orbit of the inner planet) is there any significant region of stability within the original 1-σ orbital uncertainties. Our results suggest that, if there is a second (and potentially, a third planet) in the HU Aquarii system, its orbit is dramatically different to that suggested in the discovery paper, and that more observations are critically required in order to constrain the nature of the suggested orbital bodies.

Community member learning in a community-based ecotourism project in northern Vietnam
Creators: name: Tran, Linh Thuy
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2014

description: Tourism development sometimes focuses too much on short term monetary benefits and inadvertently causes environmental and social degradation. Community-based ecotourism (CBET) is an alternative model of tourism development that has the potential to avoid certain negative side-effects while promoting environmental, cultural, and economic sustainability. Adult learning and education and gender issues are two critical but under-researched areas in ecotourism development. Informed by a combination of theoretical concepts in adult learning, environmental adult education, and women's empowerment in community development, this study examines the content, process, and outcomes of community member learning in three aspects of a CBET project in Vietnam. These include: 1) The development and management of the CBET project; 2) The protection and conservation of the local environment; and 3) Local women's empowerment. Field research for the study was undertaken on a model CBET project in Giao Xuan commune near Xuan Thuy National Park, Vietnam, a wetland recognized for its importance to environmental conservation by the Ramsar Convention. The study took an interpretive case study approach incorporating qualitative research methods of interviews, participant observation, and document analysis. Thirty-one research participants took part in the study, including seven project staff and consultants, and twenty-four community members. Study findings indicate that even though there is much room for the improvement of the planning and implementation of the CBET project, community members in the Giao Xuan CBET project have actively learned to make CBET an effective strategy linking the development of ecotourism with sustainable development. The CBET project has brought a new source of income to the local community, promoted local environmental conservation and made positive changes in local gender roles and relations. Study findings contribute to knowledge of the effectiveness of CBET as a means of community development, the role of adult learning and education in CBET, and the integration of a gender perspective into the planning and implementation of CBET.

description: Flexible Job Shop Scheduling (FJSSP) is a complex optimization problem crucial for real-world process scheduling in manufacturing. Efficiently solving such problems is vital for maintaining competitiveness. This paper introduces Quantum Annealing-based solving algorithm (QASA) to address FJSSP, utilizing quantum annealing and classical techniques. QASA optimizes multi-criterial FJSSP considering makespan, total workload, and job priority concurrently. It employs Hamiltonian formulation with Lagrange parameters to integrate constraints and objectives, allowing objective prioritization through weight assignment. To manage computational complexity, large instances are decomposed into subproblems, and a decision logic based on bottleneck factors is used. Experiments on benchmark problems show QASA, combining tabu search, simulated annealing, and Quantum Annealing, outperforms a classical solving algorithm (CSA) in solution quality (set coverage and hypervolume ratio metrics). Computational efficiency analysis indicates QASA achieves superior Pareto solutions with a reasonable increase in computation time compared to CSA.

Adult habitus. Head brown, wider than pronotum. Antennae pale brown, pronotum pale brown, wider than long, angles bluntly rounded. Wings hyaline, light brown with brown veins. Legs pale brown, hind femora with pale band at distal third; apex of tibiae and last tarsal segment dark. Male. Forewing length 7.9 mm; hindwing length 7.2 mm. Abdomen pale on anterior segments and darker on distal segments. Tergum 9 slightly raised medially, weakly sclerotized with middle of distal margin extended outward forming a triangular projection (Fig. 15); projection armed with several strong, longer spines laterally and extending partly over base of tergum 10. Tergum 10 sclerotized, dark brown and bearing a small medial indentation near posterior margin of tergum 9. Apical part of hypoproct curved inward at posterior margin of sternum 9 (Fig. 16); vesicle slender reaching over half of hypoproct. Paraprocts bilobed (Fig. 18); inner lobe sclerotized, slender, shorter than half of outer lobe; outer lobe slightly sclerotized with wide base tapering in apical 2/3 and ending with a black, acute hook which curvers toward inner lobe (Figs. 15‐18). Quadrangular sclerotized portion cuved ventrally at midlength of outer lobe. Epiproct calabash shaped in dorsal aspect, constricted medially, with large basal cushion and slightly sclerotized lateral arms (Figs. 19‐ 21). Ventral sclerite forms two oblong sclerotized circles which extend toward tip; ventral sclerite sclerotized forming a long and narrow keel with two lines of black spines on the keel.

Genus Nemoura is one of the largest genera among Nemouridae with more than 100 described species, 24 of which are recorded for China (Li & Yang 2006). Comparison of our specimens with types available in the Institute of Zoology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, shows N. oculata is distinct. The new species is similar to N. basispina Li & Yang in epiproct shape but differs in shape of paraprocts, in tergum 10, and in shape and armature of tergum 9. Etymology. The name refers to the characteristic shape of the ventral epiproct sclerite.

description: We obtain two equations (following from two different approaches) for the density profile in a self-gravitating polytropic cylindrically symmetric and rotating turbulent gas disk. The adopted physical picture is appropriate to describe the conditions near to the cloud core where the equation of state of the gas changes from isothermal (in the outer cloud layers) to one of "hard polytrope", and the symmetry changes from spherical to cylindrical. On the assumption of steady state, as the accreting matter passes through all spatial scales, we show that the total energy per unit mass is an invariant with respect to the fluid flow. The obtained equation describes the balance of the kinetic, thermal and gravitational energy of a fluid element. We also introduce a method for approximating density profile solutions (in a power-law form), leading to the emergence of three different regimes. We apply, as well, dynamical analysis of the motion of a fluid element. Only one of the regimes is in accordance with the two approaches (energy and force balance). It corresponds to a density profile of a slope -2, polytropic exponent 3/2, and sub-Keplerian rotation of the disk, when the gravity is balanced by the thermal pressure. It also matches with some observations and numerical works and, in particular, leads to a second power-law tail (of a slope approx. -1) of the density distribution function in dense, self-gravitating cloud regions.

description: We report the existence of stable symmetric vortex-type solutions for two-dimensional nonlinear discrete dissipative systems governed by a cubic-quintic complex Ginzburg-Landau equation. We construct a whole family of vortex solitons with a topological charge S = 1. Surprisingly, the dynamical evolution of unstable solutions of this family does not alter significantly their profile, instead their phase distribution completely changes. They transform into two-charges swirl-vortex solitons. We dynamically excite this novel structure showing its experimental feasibility.

description: Quantum programs are notoriously difficult to code and verify due to unintuitive quantum knowledge associated with quantum programming. Automated tools relieving the tedium and errors associated with low-level quantum details would hence be highly desirable. In this paper, we initiate the study of program synthesis for quantum unitary programs that recursively define a family of unitary circuits for different input sizes, which are widely used in existing quantum programming languages. Specifically, we present QSynth, the first quantum program synthesis framework, including a new inductive quantum programming language, its specification, a sound logic for reasoning, and an encoding of the reasoning procedure into SMT instances. By leveraging existing SMT solvers, QSynth successfully synthesizes ten quantum unitary programs including quantum adder circuits, quantum eigenvalue inversion circuits and Quantum Fourier Transformation, which can be readily transpiled to executable programs on major quantum platforms, e.g., Q#, IBM Qiskit, and AWS Braket.

description: We present a 1.42 square degree mosaic of diffuse X-ray emission in the Great Nebula in Carina from the Chandra X-ray Observatory Advanced CCD Imaging Spectrometer camera. After removing >14,000 X-ray point sources from the field, we smooth the remaining unresolved emission, tessellate it into segments of similar apparent surface brightness, and perform X-ray spectral fitting on those tessellates to infer the intrinsic properties of the X-ray-emitting plasma. By modeling faint resolved point sources, we estimate the contribution to the extended X-ray emission from unresolved point sources and show that the vast majority of Carina's unresolved X-ray emission is truly diffuse. Line-like correlated residuals in the X-ray spectral fits suggest that substantial X-ray emission is generated by charge exchange at the interfaces between Carina's hot, rarefied plasma and its many cold neutral pillars, ridges, and clumps.

description: We study the high temperature regime within the glass phase of an elastic object with short ranged disorder. In that regime we argue that the scaling functions of any observable are described by a continuum model with a $δ$-correlated disorder and that they are universal up to only two parameters that can be explicitly computed. This is shown numerically on the roughness of directed polymer models and by dimensional and functional renormalization group arguments. We discuss experimental consequences such as non-monotonous behaviour with temperature.

description: The teleportation of an unknown polarization state of one of the photons in a system of identical particles has been considered. It has been shown that spatial degrees of freedom, which are various directions of the momentum of three photons, are of significant importance for teleportation in the system of identical particles. The inclusion of the spatial degrees of freedom increases the dimension of single-particle state space. In view of this increase, a four-dimensional subspace of two-particle states, which is similar to the state space spanned by the Bell states in a system of two distinguishable qubits, can be separated in the experimental configuration.

description: The recent work by Achlioptas, D'Souza, and Spencer opened up the possibility of obtaining a discontinuous (explosive) percolation transition by changing the stochastic rule of bond occupation. Despite the active research on this subject, several questions still remain open about the leading mechanism and the properties of the system. We review the largest cluster and the Gaussian models recently introduced. We show that, to obtain a discontinuous transition it is solely necessary to control the size of the largest cluster, suppressing the growth of a cluster differing significantly, in size, from the average one. As expected for a discontinuous transition, a Gaussian cluster-size distribution and compact clusters are obtained. The surface of the clusters is fractal, with the same fractal dimension of the watershed line.

description: For compressible fluids under shock wave reaction, we have proposed two Multiple-Relaxation-Time (MRT) Lattice Boltzmann (LB) models [F. Chen, et al, EPL \textbf{90} (2010) 54003; Phys. Lett. A \textbf{375} (2011) 2129.]. In this paper, we construct a new MRT Lattice Boltzmann model which is not only for the shocked compressible fluids, but also for the unshocked compressible fluids. To make the model work for unshocked compressible fluids, a key step is to modify the collision operators of energy flux so that the viscous coefficient in momentum equation is consistent with that in energy equation even in the unshocked system. The unnecessity of the modification for systems under strong shock is analyzed. The model is validated by some well-known benchmark tests, including (i) thermal Couette flow, (ii) Riemann problem, (iii) Richtmyer-Meshkov instability. The first system is unshocked and the latter two are shocked. In all the three systems, the Prandtl numbers effects are checked. Satisfying agreements are obtained between new model results and analytical ones or other numerical results.

description: We perform a comparative study of the free energies and the density distributions in hard sphere crystals using Monte Carlo simulations and density functional theory (employing Fundamental Measure functionals). Using a recently introduced technique (Schilling and Schmid, J. Chem. Phys 131, 231102 (2009)) we obtain crystal free energies to a high precision. The free energies from Fundamental Measure theory are in good agreement with the simulation results and demonstrate the applicability of these functionals to the treatment of other problems involving crystallization. The agreement between FMT and simulations on the level of the free energies is also reflected in the density distributions around single lattice sites. Overall, the peak widths and anisotropy signs for different lattice directions agree, however, it is found that Fundamental Measure theory gives slightly narrower peaks with more anisotropy than seen in the simulations. Among the three types of Fundamental Measure functionals studied, only the White Bear II functional (Hansen-Goos and Roth, J. Phys.: Condens. Matter 18, 8413 (2006)) exhibits sensible results for the equilibrium vacancy concentration and a physical behavior of the chemical potential in crystals constrained by a fixed vacancy concentration.

description: Positron Emission Tomography (PET) enables functional imaging of deep brain structures, but the bulk and weight of current systems preclude their use during many natural human activities, such as locomotion. The proposed long-term solution is to construct a robotic system that can support an imaging system surrounding the subject's head, and then move the system to accommodate natural motion. This requires a system to measure the motion of the head with respect to the imaging ring, for use by both the robotic system and the image reconstruction software. We report here the design and experimental evaluation of a parallel string encoder mechanism for sensing this motion. Our preliminary results indicate that the measurement system may achieve accuracy within 0.5 mm, especially for small motions, with improved accuracy possible through kinematic calibration.

description: Without any analytical assumption we solve the ladder QED2+1 in Minkowski space. Obtained complex fermion propagator exhibits confinement in the sense that it has no pole. Further, we transform Greens functions to the Temporal Euclidean space, wherein we show that in the special case of ladder QED2+1 the solution is fully equivalent to the Minkowski one. Obvious invalidity of Wick rotation is briefly discussed. The infrared value of the dynamical mass is compared with other known approaches, e.g. with the standard Euclidean calculation.

description: In this paper we study the local wellposedness of the solution to a non-linear parabolic-dispersive coupled system which models a Micro-Electro-Mechanical System (MEMS). A simple electrostatically actuated MEMS capacitor device has two parallel plates separated by a gas-filled thin gap. The nonlinear parabolic-dispersive coupled system modelling the device consists of a quasilinear parabolic equation for the gas pressure and a semilinear plate equation for gap width. We show the local-in-time existence of strict solutions for the system, by combining a local-in-time existence result for the dispersive equation, Hölder continuous dependence of its solution on that of the parabolic equation, and then local-in-time existence for a resulting abstract parabolic problem. Semigroup approaches are vital for both main parts of the problem.

description: The giant planets of our solar system possess envelopes consisting mainly of hydrogen and helium but are also significantly enriched in heavier elements relatively to our Sun. In order to better constrain how these heavy elements have been delivered, we quantify the amount accreted during the so-called "late heavy bombardment", at a time when planets were fully formed and planetesimals could not sink deep into the planets. On the basis of the "Nice model", we obtain accreted masses (in terrestrial units) equal to $0.15\pm0.04 \rm\,M_\oplus$ for Jupiter, and $0.08 \pm 0.01 \rm\,M_\oplus$ for Saturn. For the two other giant planets, the results are found to depend mostly on whether they switched position during the instability phase. For Uranus, the accreted mass is $0.051 \pm 0.003 \rm\,M_\oplus$ with an inversion and $0.030 \pm 0.001 \rm\,M_\oplus$ without an inversion. Neptune accretes $0.048 \pm 0.015 \rm\,M_\oplus$ in models in which it is initially closer to the Sun than Uranus, and $0.066 \pm 0.006 \rm\,M_\oplus$ otherwise. With well-mixed envelopes, this corresponds to an increase in the enrichment over the solar value of $0.033 \pm 0.001$ and $0.074 \pm 0.007$ for Jupiter and Saturn, respectively. For the two other planets, we find the enrichments to be $2.1 \pm 1.4$ (w/ inversion) or $1.2 \pm 0.7$ (w/o inversion) for Uranus, and $2.0 \pm 1.2$ (w/ inversion) or $2.7 \pm 1.6$ (w/o inversion) for Neptune. This is clearly insufficient to explain the inferred enrichments of $\sim 4$ for Jupiter, $\sim 7$ for Saturn and $\sim 45$ for Uranus and Neptune.

Acoustics of the xiao : a case study of modern methods for the design of woodwind instruments
Creators: name: Lan, Yang
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2015

description: The xiao is a Chinese end-blown flute with a history over a thousand years and well known in China for its elegant sound. The xiao is little known outside China, but its close relative, the Japanese shakuhachi, is better known internationally. The xiao has not been well developed or standardized (because of the bamboo's varying geometries) for the contemporary musical requirements and is imperfect in tuning, tone range, tonal stability and playability of high notes. In acoustics, all these imperfections can be characterized by the acoustical impedance. As an air-reed instrument, the xiao plays at its input impedance minima. In the work reported in this thesis, the xiao was modelled by a modified transmission-matrix method, and an impedance tube was built for measuring the xiao's acoustical impedance to validate the model (accurate to a few cents). Then player effects were taken into account by an empirical formula, and the model was able to predict the playing frequencies of a xiao with any tone hole positions, sizes, and arbitrary bore shape along the symmetry axis. Based on this model, numerical optimizations were applied to improve the xiao, and a set of optimal fingerings for the xiao were obtained systematically. Several xiaos made from PVC pipes with optimized tone holes show good tuning over three octaves. A xiao with additionally optimized bore shape was machined out of acrylic, showing improved tonal stability and rich harmonics.

description: The Galaxy And Mass Assembly (GAMA) survey has been operating since February 2008 on the 3.9-m Anglo-Australian Telescope using the AAOmega fibre-fed spectrograph facility to acquire spectra with a resolution of R~1300 for 120,862 SDSS selected galaxies. The target catalogue constitutes three contiguous equatorial regions centred at 9h (G09), 12h (G12) and 14.5h (G15) each of 12 x 4 sq.deg to limiting fluxes of r < 19.4, r < 19.8, and r < 19.4 mag respectively (and additional limits at other wavelengths). Spectra and reliable redshifts have been acquired for over 98 per cent of the galaxies within these limits. Here we present the survey footprint, progression, data reduction, redshifting, re-redshifting, an assessment of data quality after 3 years, additional image analysis products (including ugrizYJHK photometry, Sersic profiles and photometric redshifts), observing mask, and construction of our core survey catalogue (GamaCore). From this we create three science ready catalogues: GamaCoreDR1 for public release, which includes data acquired during year 1 of operations within specified magnitude limits (February 2008 to April 2008); GamaCoreMainSurvey containing all data above our survey limits for use by the GAMA team and collaborators; and GamaCoreAtlasSv containing year 1, 2 and 3 data matched to Herschel-ATLAS Science Demonstration data. These catalogues along with the associated spectra, stamps and profiles can be accessed via the GAMA website: http://www.gama-survey.org/

Gravitational power from cosmic string loops with many kinks

description: We investigate the effect of a large number of kinks on the gravitational power radiated by cosmic string loops. We show that the total power radiated by a loop with N left-moving and right-moving kinks is proportional to N and increases with the typical kink angle. We then apply these results to loops containing junctions which give rise to a proliferation of the number of sharp kinks. We show that the time of gravitational decay of these loops is smaller than previously assumed. In light of this we revisit the gravitational wave burst predictions from a network containing such loops. We find there is no parameter regime in which the rate of individual kink bursts is enhanced with respect to standard networks. By contrast, there remains a region of parameter space for which the kink-kink bursts dominate the stochastic background. Finally, we discuss the order of magnitude of the typical number of sharp kinks resulting from kink proliferation on loops with junctions.

The targum (1872:June)
Creators: name: No Name Supplied
Publisher: name: Targum Association
Year: 1872

description: Some University historians indicate that the Targum was first published as an annual in 1867, but of this we have no extant evidence. In January 1869, the Targum as we now know it, made its appearance as a monthly paper that concerned itself with student “literary contributions” and college news as well as serving as a vehicle for bringing news to alumni and the general public. The newspaper, which originally was for sale, varied in frequency over the years as did its title (The Targum, Rutgers Targum, Rutgers Daily Targum, and Daily Targum). The newspaper has continuously been published since 1869 with the exception of 19 months during the second world war, between February 1944 and October 1945. The Targum was published by the students of Rutgers College, and later Rutgers University—New Brunswick represented through the years as the Targum Association, Rutgers Targum Association, and Rutgers College Targum. As a student organization, the Targum operated under the oversight of the dean of students and student government but in October 1980, the Targum became an independent college paper.
Electroosmotic Flow in Different Phosphorus Nanochannels

description: The electrokinetic transport in a neutral system consists of an aqueous NaCl solution confined in a nanochannel with two similar parallel phosphorene walls, and is investigated for different black, blue, red, and green phosphorene allotropes in the presence of an external electric field in the directions $x$ (parallel to the walls roughness axis) and $y$ (perpendicular to the walls roughness axis). The results show that irrespective of the electric field direction, the thickness of the Stern layer increases with the increase in the magnitude of the negative electric surface charge density (ESCD) on the nanochannel walls, and it also increases with the increase in the roughness ratio for different allotropes. Moreover, three different regimes of Debye--Hückel (DH), intermediate, and flow reversal appear as the absolute value of the negative ESCD on the walls grows. With the increase in the absolute value of the negative ESCD, in the DH regime, the flow velocity grows, then in the intermediate regime, it decreases, and finally, at sufficiently high ESCD, the flow reversal occurs. When the external electric field is applied in the $y$ direction, the dynamics of the system are slower than that of the $x$ direction; therefore, the flow reversal occurs at the smaller absolute values of the negative ESCD.

Accumbens processing of a food associated cue in a rat model of binge eating
Creators: name: Stamos, Joshua
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied

description: Binge Eating Disorder (BED) is characterized by repeated episodes of loss of control over eating, negative self-image, and feelings of diminished self-worth (APA, 2013). BED is the most common of all eating disorders and effects between 0.6 and 7 percent of the general population (Marzilli, Cerniglia, & Cimino, 2018; Kim et al , 2018; Dahlgren, Wisting, & Ro, 2017). It has been shown that binging eating (BE) behavior, a key component of BED, can lead to acute elevations in synaptic dopamine levels in Nucleus Acumbens (Nac) similar to what may observed as a result of drugs of abuse such as cocaine or amphetamine (Rada, Avena, Hoebel, 2005; Unberg, Shader, Hsu, & Greenblatt,  2012; Wang et al, 2011). It is possible that the act of binging may lead to addition like effects in a similar way to what is observed in drug abusers. It has long been believed that reward cues play an important role in addiction. In this study we examine the effects of a history of BE on cue processing. Female Sprague Dawlay rats were subjected to a six week BE pretreatment. Following which these rats were tested in a 10 day pavlovian experiment where a tone cue signaled availability of a sucrose reward.  Single unit recordings were taken in both Nac Core and Shell during the experiment. Additionally, we recorded ultrasonic vocalizations (USV) during the experiment in order to gain a measure of the subjects affect. BE rats exhibited significant decreases in number of cued head entries when compared to a control group. Additionally, analysis of neural firing during the pavlovian task indicated decreased Nac Core processing of the reward associated cue in BE animals. Analysis of firing during consumption indicated increased processing during consumption when compared to a motor matched control behavior. This result held for both BE and control rats and in both Nac Core and Shell. Finally, Linear trend analysis of USVs indicated a decrease in positive affect in the BE group. Taken together these results indicate that BE treatment results in decreased tone processing in Nac Core, and possible decreases in positive affect.  Finally, our results indicate that Nac processing increases during consumption when compared to a control behavior and that this result was unaffected by BE treatment.

description: The Aharonov-Bohm-Casher problem is examined for a charged particle describing a circular path in presence of a Lorentz-violating background nonminimally coupled to a spinor and a gauge field. It were evaluated the particle eigenenergies, showing that the LV background is able to lift the original degenerescence in the absence of magnetic field and even for a neutral particle. The Aharonov-Casher phase is used to impose an upper bound on the background magnitude. A similar analysis is accomplished in a space endowed with a topological defect, revealing that both the disclination parameter and the LV background are able to modify the particle eigenenergies. We also analyze the particular case where the particle interacts harmonically with the topological defect and the LV background, with similar results.
