description: The purpose of this survey is to present analytic versions of the injectivity theorem and their applications. The proof of our injectivity theorems is based on a combination of the L^2-method for the dbar-equation and the theory of harmonic integrals. As applications, we obtain Nadel type vanishing theorems and extension theorems for pluri-canonical sections of log pairs. Moreover, we give some results on semi-ampleness related to the abundance conjecture in birational geometry (the minimal model program).

description: Abstract: - This review explores the antioxidant efficacy of traditional herbs compared to fermented foods, highlighting their roles in enhancing antioxidant defense mechanisms. Antioxidants are essential in combating oxidative stress, which contributes to various chronic diseases and aging processes. Traditional herbs such as turmeric and green tea, known for their potent antioxidant properties, have been extensively studied for their health benefits. Similarly, fermented foods like yogurt and kimchi offer notable antioxidant effects through the fermentation process, which increases the availability of bioactive compounds. This comparative analysis evaluates the antioxidant potency, bioavailability, and health implications of both traditional herbs and fermented foods. We also discuss the potential synergistic effects of combining these dietary sources to optimize antioxidant defense. The review identifies research gaps and suggests directions for future studies to better understand the full potential of these dietary interventions in disease prevention and health promotion.

description: Although genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have proven powerful for comprehending the genetic architecture of complex traits, they are challenged by a high dimension of single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) as predictors, the presence of complex environmental factors, and longitudinal or functional natures of many complex traits or diseases. To address these challenges, we propose a high-dimensional varying-coefficient model for incorporating functional aspects of phenotypic traits into GWAS to formulate a so-called functional GWAS or fGWAS. The Bayesian group lasso and the associated MCMC algorithms are developed to identify significant SNPs and estimate how they affect longitudinal traits through time-varying genetic actions. The model is generalized to analyze the genetic control of complex traits using subject-specific sparse longitudinal data. The statistical properties of the new model are investigated through simulation studies. We use the new model to analyze a real GWAS data set from the Framingham Heart Study, leading to the identification of several significant SNPs associated with age-specific changes of body mass index. The fGWAS model, equipped with the Bayesian group lasso, will provide a useful tool for genetic and developmental analysis of complex traits or diseases.

description: Spin Seebeck effect (SSE) holds promise for new spintronic devices with low-energy consumption. The underlying physics, essential for a further progress, is yet to be fully clarified. This study of the time resolved longitudinal SSE in the magnetic insulator yttrium iron garnet (YIG) concludes that a substantial contribution to the spin current stems from small wave-vector subthermal exchange magnons. Our finding is in line with the recent experiment by S. R. Boona and J. P. Heremans, Phys. Rev. B 90, 064421 (2014). Technically, the spin-current dynamics is treated based on the Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert (LLG) equation also including magnons back-action on thermal bath, while the formation of the time dependent thermal gradient is described self-consistently via the heat equation coupled to the magnetization dynamics

description: A model is introduced, in which the irregularity spectrum of the Galactic magnetic field beyond the dissipation length scale is first a Kolmogorov spectrum $k^{-5/3}$ at small scales $λ\, = \, 2 π/k$ with $k$ the wave-number, then a saturation spectrum $k^{-1}$, and finally a shock-dominated spectrum $k^{-2}$ mostly in the halo/wind outside the Cosmic Ray disk. In an isotropic approximation such a model is consistent with the Interstellar Medium (ISM) data. With this model we discuss the Galactic Cosmic Ray (GCR) spectrum, as well as the extragalactic Ultra High Energy Cosmic Rays (UHECRs), their chemical abundances and anisotropies. UHECRs may include a proton component from many radio galaxies integrated over vast distances, visible already below 3 EeV.

Year: 2016

description: OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to determine active periodontal disease status in HIV and to determine the impact of periodontal disease resolution on HIV status. METHODS: In this longitudinal cohort study, 73 HIV-positive subjects received comprehensive dental care. AAP, CDC/AAP, and BGI case definitions determined periodontal classification. Likelihood and frequency of moderate/severe periodontal disease were assessed based on demographic variables. The influence of periodontal intervention was assessed at baseline, 12, and 24 months. IL-6 was measured in a subset of subjects. RESULTS: Of the periodontal classifications, BGI demonstrated the highest percentage category improvement with the intervention (>50%). Moderate/severe periodontitis was positively associated HIV regardless of race, smoking status, gender, income level, and age, and was associated with increased IL-6. At baseline, the majority of subjects had severe periodontal disease regardless of ART status. Subjects with suppressed viral load at baseline demonstrated a significant improvement in BGI classification (P = 0.026), increased CD4 counts (P = 0.027), and decreased IL-6 levels (P = 0.03). CONCLUSIONS: Periodontal inflammation was prevalent regardless of ART status. In virologically suppressed subjects, the intervention decreased periodontitis with a concomitant IL-6 decrease and CD4 increase. These findings suggest a relationship between periodontal inflammation, oral microbial translocation, and HIV status.

description: A random recursive cell splitting scheme of the $2$-dimensional unit sphere is considered, which is the spherical analogue of the STIT tessellation process from Euclidean stochastic geometry. First-order moments are computed for a large array of combinatorial and metric parameters of the induced splitting tessellations by means of martingale methods combined with tools from spherical integral geometry. The findings are compared with those in the Euclidean case, making thereby transparent the influence of the curvature of the underlying space. Moreover, the capacity functional is computed and the point process that arises from the intersection of a splitting tessellation with a fixed great circle is characterized.
Modeling magneto-optical trapping of CaF molecules

description: Magneto-optical trapping forces for molecules are far weaker than for alkali atoms because the photon scattering rate is reduced when there are multiple ground states, and because of optical pumping into dark states. The force is further reduced when the upper state has a much smaller Zeeman splitting than the lower state. We use a rate model to estimate the strength of the trapping and damping forces in a magneto-optical trap (MOT) of CaF molecules, using either the A$^{2}Π_{1/2}$ - X$^{2}Σ^{+}$ transition or the B$^{2}Σ^{+}$ - X$^{2}Σ^{+}$ transition. We identify a new mechanism of magneto-optical trapping that arises when, in each beam of the MOT, two laser components with opposite polarizations and different detunings address the same transition. This mechanism produces a strong trapping force even when the upper state has little or no Zeeman splitting. It is the main mechanism responsible for the trapping force when the A$^{2}Π_{1/2}$ - X$^{2}Σ^{+}$ transition is used.

Local Investments to Enhance Support for Renewable Portfolio Standards
Creators: name: Cherry, Todd
Publisher: name: Open Science Framework
Year: 2022
Subjects: subject: Social and Behavioral Sciences

description: This project plans to conduct a survey experiment that investigates the acceptability of renewable portfolio standards. Many states have implemented Renewable Portfolio Standards (RPS), which require the electric utilities in the state to generate a minimum level of electricity from renewable resources. The standard leads to new investment in renewable energy generation. A key issue is whether utilities are required to meet the standard by investing in local renewable energy projects or if they can meet the standard by purchasing renewable energy credits that invest in renewable energy projects outside the state. The experimental design consists of local and non-local treatments, and we test whether support varies across the treatments. The survey experiment will be conducted online and use a panel from Qualtrics or Survey Monkey. The University of Wyoming's IRB has reviewed and approved (exempt) the research protocol and survey experiment instrument (#20210412TC02997).

description: Knowledge about wood moisture conditions in a timber component is essential to predict its mechanical behavior. Not only stiffness and strength properties are highly dependent on wood moisture content but also diffusion coefficients, density, specific heat capacity and the thermal conductivity. Therefore, modern prediction tools, which are able to describe these effects, can benefit the development of new wood-based products. Especially, if they exhibit complex geometries and are made of materials with different moisture characteristics, as different and direction-dependent coefficients of expansion may lead to critical stresses. Transport mechanisms below the fiber saturation point were developed by [1-2]. Three coupled differential equations describe bound water, water vapor and energy conservation. Free water exists above the fiber saturation point with the corresponding transport mechanisms described in [3]. Values of the free water content can be much higher than those of bound water and water vapor. Thus, within the areas, where the switch from the transport mechanisms below the fiber saturation point to those above occur, high gradients can exist. To deal with these within the finite element method different procedures, like upstreaming and mass lumping [4], were used. A three-dimensional Abaqus User-Element Subroutine was developed to describe these coupled equations.
Committees and Delegation in the US House of Representatives

description: Congressional committees are thought to be comprised of legislators with specific interest or expertise in the policy areas over which they are given jurisdiction. However, there exists an informational asymmetry between these legislators and the bureaucrats in the executive branch who will implement the laws they pass. If committee members care about reducing the potential for bureaucratic drift in implementation, they can allocate time and staff resources towards crafting detailed legislation that constrains the executive branch. To establish the conditions under which committee members will engage in drafting detailed legislation, I propose a new measurement of legislative delegation and conduct empirical tests on committee markups of bills from the 105th-114th congresses. My results demonstrate that committee staff size and ideological congruence among majority party leadership are important factors in the committee-level decision to draft detailed legislation in markup. Additionally, I find mixed support for the assertion that divided government incentivizes committees to constrain the executive branch through the addition of specific policy language in committee markup.

description: Emergency financial assistance (EFA) provides funds to individuals who need it to stay afloat with expenses like rent or utility bills. In many cases, these funds are distributed on behalf of individuals to an appropriate third party (e.g., in the case of a rent payment, EFA would be transferred directly to a client’s landlord). What is the impact of changing this method of delivery and instead providing EFA payments directly to clients? Through a partnership with Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of Galveston Houston (CCGH), this study evaluates how payment delivery could affect outcomes like those related to housing, health, crime, and financial security.

An Adaptive Data Representation for Robust Point-Set Registration and Merging

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2015
Subjects: subject: Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition (cs.CV)
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: This paper presents a framework for rigid point-set registration and merging using a robust continuous data representation. Our point-set representation is constructed by training a one-class support vector machine with a Gaussian radial basis function kernel and subsequently approximating the output function with a Gaussian mixture model. We leverage the representation's sparse parametrisation and robustness to noise, outliers and occlusions in an efficient registration algorithm that minimises the L2 distance between our support vector--parametrised Gaussian mixtures. In contrast, existing techniques, such as Iterative Closest Point and Gaussian mixture approaches, manifest a narrower region of convergence and are less robust to occlusions and missing data, as demonstrated in the evaluation on a range of 2D and 3D datasets. Finally, we present a novel algorithm, GMMerge, that parsimoniously and equitably merges aligned mixture models, allowing the framework to be used for reconstruction and mapping.

description: We model neutron star cooling, in particular the current rapid cooldown of the neutron star Cas A, with a microscopic nuclear equation of state featuring strong direct Urca processes and using compatible nuclear pairing gaps as well as effective masses. Several scenarios are possible to explain the features of Cas A, but only large and extended proton $^1S_0$ gaps and small neutron $^3PF_2$ gaps are able to accommodate also the major part of the complete current cooling data. We conclude that the possibility of strong direct Urca processes cannot be excluded from the cooling analysis.

Equivalent circuits

description: Complementary split ring resonators (CSRRs) have been used in many applications for several years, such as sensors or structures for filter-size reduction. In the literature, different equivalent circuit models for CSRRs are found. We study those approaches and analyze which circuit topology gives the highest modeling accuracy. For this purpose, we use a least squares error metric to quantify the difference between the scattering matrices (S-matrices) of different equivalent circuits and the CSRRs simulated in a 3-D full-wave simulation (FWS). To identify the best circuit topology, we consider both a wide frequency range and variations of the CSRR’s size. Firstly, for each geometry, the “reference” S-matrix of the structure is found with the FWS Ansys HFSS. Secondly, the different equivalent circuits’ elements are derived by means of least mean square error minimization. Plotting the resulting errors of each investigated equivalent circuit topology over the CSRR’s size reveals which model performs best. As a next step, the best model is studied in detail and its circuit parameters’ dependencies on the CSRR’s geometry are discussed.

description: The death of Aeschylus according to the version by Valerius Maximus occurred because of a tortoise smashed to the ground by an eagle, mistaking the poet’s head for a rock. The story has a quite unique genesis and a long tradition, received by Erasmus of Rotterdam, who contaminates it with elements traceable to various ancient authors. Erasmus’ Adagia lead to trace the humanists’ knowledge of even the most erudite ancient sources, focusing on certain ethological characteristics of eagles well known since ancient times, such as exceptional eyesight and predatory ability. In the text by Valerius Maximus these skills seem almost to have been forgotten in favour of a story with impressive features, but they re-emerge in trace in the Adagia by Erasmus.

Abstract—This paper details recent advancements made to the control architecture of a 1:8 scaled multi-wheeled combat vehicle capable of eight-wheel drive and eight-wheel steer. The vehicle was previously developed to be used as a platform for autonomous navigation research with an autonomous parking algorithm being proposed and applied to the vehicle. Currently, a hybrid remote control system was developed to coexist alongside the existing hardware and autonomous software. The enhancements provide additional functionality during non-autonomous testing of the vehicle. Furthermore, these updates also reflect the networked vehicle architecture of next generation combat vehicles as seen in North Atlantic

Cardiovascular and Blood Lactate Responses to Low, Moderate, and High Intensity Aerobic Exercise in Breast Cancer Patients: Is Exercise Intensity a True Reflection of Perceived Exertion?
Creators: name: Evans, Elizabeth Serex
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries

description: Exercise prescription guidelines for breast cancer patients have yet to be established. The purpose of this study was to compare the heart rate (HR), rate of perceived exertion (RPE), and post-exercise blood lactate responses to aerobic exercise between post-treated breast cancer patients and apparently healthy controls. Fourteen subjects (7 patients, 7 controls) participated in this study. Three different exercise intensities (40%, 60%, and 70% of VO2max) were examined. No differences were observed in HR, RPE, or post-exercise lactate for the exercise trials, with the exception of lactate after the exercise trial at 70% of VO2max, where the control group had a significantly higher response compared to the experimental group (p<0.0005). Post-treated breast cancer patients seem to respond similarly to these 3 exercise intensities compared with apparently healthy controls. However, methodological challenges faced during this study should be addressed for a more clear understanding of the current findings.

Spin Orbit Coupling in Graphene Induced by Heavy Adatoms with Electrons in the Outer-Shell $p$ Orbitals

description: Many of the exotic properties proposed to occur in graphene rely on the possibility of increasing the spin orbit coupling (SOC). By combining analytical and numerical tight binding calculations, in this work we study the SOC induced by heavy adatoms with active electrons living in $p$ orbitals. Depending on the position of the adatoms on graphene different kinds of SOC appear. Adatoms located in hollow position induce spin conserving intrinsic like SOC whereas a random distribution of adatoms induces a spin flipping Rashba like SOC. The induced SOC is linearly proportional to the adatoms concentration, indicating the inexistent interference effects between different adatoms. By computing the Hall conductivity we have proved the stability of the topological quantum Hall phases created by the adatoms against inhomogeneous spin orbit coupling . For the case of Pb adatoms, we find that a concentration of 0.1 adatom per carbon atom generates SOC's of the order of $\sim$40$meV$.

description: The airport city of Vienna International Airport consists of more than 125 energy-consuming objects – mostly buildings but also infrastructure. In order to ensure their energy-efficient operation, digital models are needed that predict the energy consumption that the objects should have. Multiple linear regression can provide such models if historical data is available to train regression models with. In our approach, we explore how regression models must be set up for the case of airport objects. Further, we investigate how the prediction performance of multiple linear regression can be improved by combining it with other methods.

description: In this paper, we introduce game-theoretic semantics (GTS) for Qualitative Choice Logic (QCL), which, in order to express preferences, extends classical propositional logic with an additional connective called ordered disjunction. Firstly, we demonstrate that game semantics can capture existing degree-based semantics for QCL in a natural way. Secondly, we show that game semantics can be leveraged to derive new semantics for the language of QCL. In particular, we present a new semantics that makes use of GTS negation and, by doing so, avoids problems with negation in existing QCL-semantics.

description: This paper studies a robust design problem for far-field line-of-sight (LOS) channels where phase errors are present. Compared with the commonly used additive error model, the phase error model is more suitable for capturing the uncertainty in an LOS channel, as the dominant source of uncertainty lies in the phase. We consider a multiple-input single-output (MISO) multicast scenario, in which our goal is to design a beamformer that minimizes the transmit power while satisfying probabilistic signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) constraints. The probabilistic constraints give rise to a new computational challenge, as they involve random trigonometric forms. In this work, we propose to first approximate the random trigonometric form by its second-order Taylor expansion and then tackle the resulting random quadratic form using a Bernstein-type inequality. The advantage of such an approach is that an approximately optimal beamformer can be obtained using the standard semidefinite relaxation technique. In the simulations, we first show that if a non-robust design (i.e., one that does not take phase errors into account) is used, then the whole system may collapse. We then show that our proposed method is less conservative than the existing robust design based on Gaussian approximation and thus requires a lower power budget.

description: Quasi delay-insensitive asynchronous circuits have the appealing property of stopping further operation in case of a permanent fault. This fail-stop behavior makes them attractive for on-line repair: after removal of the permanent fault, the circuit can, ideally, continue operating without the need for state recovery. However, it has been shown that in certain cases the state may get corrupted before the operation actually stops. In this paper we use the example of a weak-conditioned half- buffer template to investigate more closely which situations can lead to such state corruption. We explore implementation variants like double completion detection to mitigate that undesired effect. Based on extensive gate-level simulation experiments we quantify the probability for state corruption seen in the different circuits and identify the relevant dependences. As it turns out, the proposed extensions can reduce, but not completely eliminate, the risk of state corruption. At the same time detection of illegal code words promises to have great potential for countermeasures.

European Union foreign policy: quietly collapsing democracy

description: The European Union speaks of promotion of human rights, liberal democratic values and its influence in the world. Yet, by investigating the EU's foreign policy, we can find significant discrepancies between what is rhetorically stated in official statements and how the Union's resources are inefficiently utilized. As a matter of reconciliation regarding the stark reality of the Union's inability to influence its immediate surroundings, and with hope, the lessons that can be drawn from this project, the relationship between the European Union, Turkey and Egypt will be analyzed. Since Turkey's government, the AKP (Justice and Development Party), has taken power in 2002, the government has embraced EU reform for domestic power consolidation; in Egypt, ineffective policies without an EU accession reward left the Egyptian citizens unhappy with the Union's exacerbating policies of social inequality. Thus the EU can observe how policies can improve in the future based on previous failure.

description: According to the EU Circular Economy Package recycling of plastic packaging waste (PPW) has to be enhanced significantly. As separate collection is a crucial factor reaching future recycling targets a detailed knowledge and understanding of the performance of current separate collection systems is mandatory. This paper analyses PPW collection rates of different collection systems regarding different settlement clusters, target fractions and service levels for the case study of Austria. The analysis was carried out by material flow analysis (MFA). Results show that the highest performance is achieved in mainly rural areas with PPW collection rates of 74-77% targeting all plastic packaging with service levels curbside collection. Urban areas show significant lower collection rates of 56%. Additional collection centers can enhance the collection rates. With higher degree of urbanization the provided service level gets more important for separate collection rates.
Full-field moisture induced deformation in Norway spruce: intra-ring variation of transverse swelling

description: The transverse hygro-expansion of the Norway spruce wood is studied on the growth ring level using digital image correlation. This non-destructive technique offers the possibility to contactless study deformation fields of relatively large areas. The measured full-field strains are segmented into individual growth rings. Whereas radial strains closely follow the density progression with the maximum in the dense latewood, tangential and shear strain remain constant except for positions around the edges of the sample. A simple FE three phase growth ring model is in good agreement with the experimental values. The selective activation of individual phases like earlywood, transitionwood and latewood demonstrates that the radial hygro-expansion is dominated by the earlywood deformation, whereas tangential deformation is a complex interplay of expansion and compression that needs all tissues to fully develop.

description: We develop a feature allocation model for inference on genetic tumor variation using next-generation sequencing data. Specifically, we record single nucleotide variants (SNVs) based on short reads mapped to human reference genome and characterize tumor heterogeneity by latent haplotypes defined as a scaffold of SNVs on the same homologous genome. For multiple samples from a single tumor, assuming that each sample is composed of some sample-specific proportions of these haplotypes, we then fit the observed variant allele fractions of SNVs for each sample and estimate the proportions of haplotypes. Varying proportions of haplotypes across samples is evidence of tumor heterogeneity since it implies varying composition of cell subpopulations. Taking a Bayesian perspective, we proceed with a prior probability model for all relevant unknown quantities, including, in particular, a prior probability model on the binary indicators that characterize the latent haplotypes. Such prior models are known as feature allocation models. Specifically, we define a simplified version of the Indian buffet process, one of the most traditional feature allocation models. The proposed model allows overlapping clustering of SNVs in defining latent haplotypes, which reflects the evolutionary process of subclonal expansion in tumor samples.

In dieser Arbeit wird die Strukturdynamik der Wassermoleküle und Gegenionen in der umgebenden Wasserhülle der DNA mit der Methode der zweidimensionalen Infrarotspektroskopie (2D IR) sowie Anrege-Abfrage-Spektroskopie untersucht. Die Ergebnisse der vorliegenden Arbeit zeigt das starke Potenzial von Schwingungsmoden an Grenzflächen für die Abbildung und das Verständnis von Wechselwirkungen zwischen Biomolekülen und ihrer Wasserhülle. In Zukunft soll dieses Konzept auch auf andere Biomoleküle angewendet werden.
description: Biochemical processes occur in an aqueous environment and interactions of the water shell with biomolecules play a key role for their structure and function. In this thesis, the structural dynamics of water molecules and counterions in the hydration shell of DNA is investigated by two-dimensional infrared (2D IR) spectroscopy and pump-probe transient spectroscopy. 2D IR spectroscopy is a powerful technique that can track molecular couplings between different vibrational modes and structural fluctuations of the chemical environment on a femto- to picosecond time scale. In the present study, vibrational modes of the DNA backbone serve as probes located at the DNA-water interface. The results of this thesis demonstrate the strong potential of interfacial vibrational modes for mapping and understanding interactions between biomolecules and their water shell. In future, this concept will be applied to other biomolecular systems.

description: A time-domain numerical modeling of brass instruments is proposed. On one hand, outgoing and incoming waves in the resonator are described by the Menguy-Gilbert model, which incorporates three key issues: nonlinear wave propagation, viscothermal losses, and a variable section. The non-linear propagation is simulated by a TVD scheme well-suited to non-smooth waves. The fractional derivatives induced by the viscothermal losses are replaced by a set of local-in-time memory variables. A splitting strategy is followed to couple optimally these dedicated methods. On the other hand, the exciter is described by a one-mass model for the lips. The Newmark method is used to integrate the nonlinear ordinary differential equation so-obtained. At each time step, a coupling is performed between the pressure in the tube and the displacement of the lips. Finally, an extensive set of validation tests is successfully completed. In particular, self-sustained oscillations of the lips are simulated by taking into account the nonlinear wave propagation in the tube. Simulations clearly indicate that the nonlinear wave propagation has a major influence on the timbre of the sound, as expected. Moreover, simulations also highlight an influence on playing frequencies, time envelopes and on the playability of the low frequencies in the case of a variable lips tension.
