description: Using archival data from the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer (RXTE), we study in a systematic way the variation of the quality factor and amplitude of the lower and upper kHz quasi-periodic oscillations (QPO) in the low-mass X-ray binary 4U1636-536, over a frequency range from ~550 Hz to ~1200 Hz. When represented in a quality factor versus frequency diagram, the upper and lower QPOs follow two different tracks, suggesting that they are distinct phenomena, although not completely independent because the frequency difference of the two QPOs, when detected simultaneously, remains within ~60 Hz of half the neutron star spin frequency (at 581 Hz). The quality factor of the lower kHz QPO increases with frequency up to a maximum of ~200 at ~850 Hz, then drops precipitously to Q~50 at the highest detected frequencies ~920 Hz. A ceiling of the lower QPO frequencies at 920 Hz is also clearly seen in a frequency versus count rate diagram. The quality factor provides a measure of the coherence of the underlying oscillator. For exponentially damped sinusoidal shots, the highest Q observed corresponds to an oscillator coherence time of ~ 0.1 seconds. All existing QPO models face challenges in explaining such a long coherence time and the significantly different behaviours of the quality factors of the upper and lower QPOs reported here. It is therefore difficult to be certain of the implications of the abrupt change in the lower QPO at ~850 Hz. We discuss various possible causes, including that the drop in coherence is ultimately caused by effects related to the innermost stable circular orbit (abridged).

description: We assess comprehensively the potential of galaxy cluster edges as a standard ruler in measuring cosmological distances and probing exotic physics. Confronting five alternative cosmological models with cluster edges from the near future Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument survey, we conclude that cluster edges can serve as a promising probe to constrain models beyond $Λ$CDM. Especially, the constraining precision of equation of state of dark energy from cluster edges is just about two times larger than that from the Pantheon Type Ia supernovae sample. We find that the constraining power of cluster edges can be exhibited better by combining it with other probes. Combining cluster edges with cosmic microwave background, baryon acoustic oscillations, Type Ia supernovae, cosmic chronometers and simulated gravitational-wave events from the space-based Einstein Telescope, respectively, we constrain $Λ$CDM and find that the data combination of cosmic microwave background and cluster edges gives the best constraint on the Hubble constant $H_0$ with a $0.5\%$ precision and the matter density ratio $Ω_m$ with a $1.6\%$ precision among these five pair datasets, and that the data combination of gravitational waves and cluster edges almost shares the same constraining power as that of Type Ia supernovae and cluster edges. We also give the most stringent constraint on $Λ$CDM by combining cluster edges with available cosmological data. With the help of other probes, galaxy cluster edges can give new insights on exotic physics better at cosmological scales.

Eccentricity of supermassive black hole binaries coalescing from gas rich mergers

Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)

description: Angular momentum loss to circumbinary gas provides a possible mechanism for overcoming the `last parsec' problem and allowing the most massive black hole binaries formed from galactic mergers to coalesce. Here, we show that if gas disks also catalyze the merger of the somewhat lower mass binaries detectable with the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA), then there may be a purely gravitational wave signature of the role of gas in the form of a small but finite eccentricity just prior to merger. Numerical simulations suggest that eccentricity, excited by the interaction between the binary and surrounding gas disk, is only partially damped during the final phase of gravitational radiation-driven inspiral. We estimate that the typical eccentricity at one week prior to coalescence is of the order of 0.01. Higher terminal eccentricities, which can approach 0.1, are possible if the binary has an extreme mass ratio. The detection of even a small eccentricity prior to merger by LISA provides a possible discriminant between gas-driven inspirals and those effected by stellar processes.

description: Produced as a joint product, economic theory suggests that manure value could influence livestock management decisions such as herd size and optimal market weights. This study examines the concept of manure and its connection with optimal replacement age or market weight. A model of a swine finishing operation representative of North Carolina conditions is developed. Over the range of conditions considered, manure value is negative and does not affect market weights. The marginal per head change in manure value is small relative to the marginal per head change in net returns from pork production. Further, economies of scale with respect to irrigation cause manure value to increase with herd size.

description: In recent decades, significant progress has been made in understanding the molecular characteristics of cancer and its microenvironment, leading to the development of life-saving treatments. However, patients often experience side effects from standard therapies, highlighting the need for personalized medicine. Personalized medicine aims to customize drug therapy and preventive care based on individual patients' specific requirements. The heterogeneity within tumors and among patients necessitates personalized medicine approaches. Patient-derived organoids (PDOs), xenografts (PDXs), and explants (PDEs) have emerged as valuable models for studying tumor behaviour and drug response. This paper aims to summarize the latest advancements in patient-derived explants, focusing on their potential utility in the clinic. Different methods for culturing PDEs, including the free-floating approach, the grid method, and sponge scaffolds, are discussed. These approaches provide opportunities for long-term viability, oxygen and nutrient supply, and maintenance of tissue integrity. Additionally, various solid tumor models using PDEs are highlighted, together with assays to study PDE viability, characteristics, and response to drug treatment.

description: The inverse finite element method (iFEM) emerged as a powerful tool in shape-sensing and structural health monitoring (SHM) applications with distinct advantages over existing methodologies. In this study, a quadrilateral inverse-plate element is formulated via a sub-parametric approach using bi-linear and non-conforming cubic Hermite basis functions for engineering structures, which can be modeled as thin plates. Numerical validation involves dense and assumed sparse sensor arrangements for in-plane, out-of-plane, and mixed general loading conditions. iFEM analysis reveals efficient monotonic convergence to analytical and high-fidelity finite element reference solutions. After successful numerical validation, defect detection analysis is performed considering minute geometric discontinuities and structural stiffness reduction because of latent subsurface defects under tensile and transverse loading conditions. The inverse formulation successfully resolves the presence of simulated defects under a sparse sensor arrangement. The proposed inverse-plate element is accurate in the full-field reconstruction of shape-sensing profiles and reliable in defect identification and quantification in thin plate structures.

description: Domestic tobacco producers have faced increasing competition from imported tobacco since the late 1970s. Much of the debate has centered on the unknown quality of imported tobacco. This study provides a discussion and clarification of the concept of quality, and demonstrates a method of measuring the average quality of imported tobacco. The results show that since 1977, imported tobacco has been steadily decreasing in average quality and moving toward lower quality producing countries and types of tobacco. The reasons for this decline are discussed along with the policy implications.

qualitative research of cybersex amongst women

description: The Internet has long been considered a platform that provides easy access to sexual content, while also offering anonymity and affordability. In spite of its increased prevalence, an insufficient number of studies have focused on the experiences of females who participate in online sexual activity. It may be necessary for therapists to support females who present with concerns regarding cybersex usage; however, research indicates clinical practitioners do not consider themselves suitably prepared to work effectively with such clients, due to insufficient training and a general lack of empirical research in the literature. Thus, it appears there is a need for further research in this field to offer insight and guidance for clinicians.

This qualitative research aimed to explore how females within the United Kingdom experience their online sexual lives, and the positive and negative feelings that such experiences engender. The phenomenological epistemology and relativist ontology underpinning this research focused on comprehending the participants’ subjective lived experiences; this emphasis appears to be in line with the philosophical basis of counselling psychology. Four female participants, all older than 18 years old, who had been online in the previous three months to engage in online sexual activity, took part in online, semi-structured interviews. Interview transcripts were analysed using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis, which generated three master themes: 1) an enticing space; 2) paradoxical attitudes; and 3) the painful ramifications. Each theme contained a number of sub-themes. Novel insights with regard to the interplay between how women make meaning and their responses emphasise the multifaced and complicated experience of participants with respect to online sexual activity.

The study findings are reviewed with respect to the broader literature. Various consequences for practice are considered, including that clinicians should be encouraged to diverge from a pathological model to one that promotes the well-being of women and validates their emotions and experiences. It is expected that giving insight into the lived experiences of women who participate in online sexual activity could enable practitioners to empathise with and show more understanding of them when they are seeking support.

description: There is a substantial rise in the global incidence of obesity. Brown rice contains metabolic substances that can help minimize the prevalence of obesity. This study evaluated nine brown rice varieties using probiotic fermentation using Pediococcus acidilacti MNL5 to enhance bioactive metabolites and their efficacy. Among the nine varieties, FBR-1741 had the highest pancreatic lipase inhibitory efficacy (87.6 ± 1.51%), DPPH assay (358.5 ± 2.80 mg Trolox equiv./100 g, DW), and ABTS assay (362.5 ± 2.32 mg Trolox equiv./100 g, DW). Compared to other fermented brown rice and FBR-1741 varieties, UHPLC-Q-TOF-MS/MS demonstrated significant untargeted metabolite alterations. The 17 most abundant polyphenolic metabolites in the FBR-1741 variety and 132 putative targets were assessed for obesity-related target proteins, and protein interaction networks were constructed using the Cystoscope software. Network pharmacology analysis validated FBR-1741 with active metabolites in the C. elegans obesity-induced model. Administration of FBR-1741 with ferulic acid improved lifespan decreased triglycerides and suppressed the expression of fat-related genes. The enhanced anti-obesity properties of FBR-1741 suggest its implementation in obesity-functional food.

In particular, the ongoing {\it Swift} mission might be the first observatory to detect individual Population~III stars, provided that the massive, metal-free stars were able to trigger GRBs. {\it Swift} will empirically constrain the redshift at which Population~III star formation was terminated, thus providing crucial input to models of cosmic reionization and metal enrichment.

description: We continue the study of time-dependent Hamiltonians with an isolated singularity in their time dependence, describing propagation on singular space-times. In previous work, two of us have proposed a "minimal subtraction" prescription for the simplest class of such systems, involving Hamiltonians with only one singular term. On the other hand, Hamiltonians corresponding to geometrical resolutions of space-time tend to involve multiple operator structures (multiple types of dependence on the canonical variables) in an essential way. We consider some of the general properties of such (near-)singular Hamiltonian systems, and further specialize to the case of a free scalar field on a two-parameter generalization of the null-brane space-time. We find that the singular limit of free scalar field evolution exists for a discrete subset of the possible values of the two parameters. The coordinates we introduce reveal a peculiar reflection property of scalar field propagation on the generalized (as well as the original) null-brane. We further present a simple family of pp-wave geometries whose singular limit is a light-like hyperplane (discontinuously) reflecting the positions of particles as they pass through it.

description: The feature extraction methods of radiomics are mainly based on static tomographic images at a certain moment, while the occurrence and development of disease is a dynamic process that cannot be fully reflected by only static characteristics. This study proposes a new dynamic radiomics feature extraction workflow that uses time-dependent tomographic images of the same patient, focuses on the changes in image features over time, and then quantifies them as new dynamic features for diagnostic or prognostic evaluation. We first define the mathematical paradigm of dynamic radiomics and introduce three specific methods that can describe the transformation process of features over time. Three different clinical problems are used to validate the performance of the proposed dynamic feature with conventional 2D and 3D static features.

description: It has been revealed that hypothalamic neurons containing the peptide, melanin-concentrating hormone (MCH) can influence learning [1] and memory formation [2], but the cellular mechanisms by which they perform this function are not well understood. Here, we examine the role of MCH neural input to the hippocampus, and show in vitro that optogenetically increasing MCH axon activity facilitates hippocampal plasticity by lowering the threshold for synaptic potentiation. These results align with increasing evidence that MCH neurons play a regulatory role in learning, and reveal that this could be achieved by modulating plasticity thresholds in the hippocampus.

description: We perform global fits within Standard Model Effective Field Theory (SMEFT) combining top-quark pair production processes and decay with $b\rightarrow s$ flavor changing neutral current transitions and $Z \to b \bar b$ in three stages: using existing data from the LHC and $B$-factories, using projections for the HL-LHC and Belle II, and studying the additional new physics impact from a future lepton collider. The latter is ideally suited to directly probe $\ell^+\ell^-\rightarrow t\bar t$ transitions. We observe powerful synergies in combining both top and beauty observables as flat directions are removed and more operators can be probed. We find that a future lepton collider significantly enhances this interplay and qualitatively improves global SMEFT fits.

description: The 1995 Farm Bill debate proved different than many economists expected. It was overwhelmingly budget-driven. Few early concerns about the role of government, efficiency, equity, competitiveness, environment, rural development, and food were addressed. Economic analysis played a different role than anticipated. Models of who and how farm policy is made proved misleading; the debate circumvented the traditional process. Economic models were used more to perform budget accounting than substantive analysis. And their substantive analyses often failed to capture the attention of policymakers. Hence, while a reformist economist's dream, the bill leaves as many issues unanswered as it addresses.
A metaphor for disaster : a multiple case study of the leaky condo crisis
Creators: name: Hayter, Martin Robert
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: This study investigated the effects of a process of metaphor creation on the meaningful understanding of a significant past experience - that of owning and living in a condominium that had been damaged because of excessive rain and poor building practises and/or materials. This natural disaster has affected the Lower Mainland of British Columbia predominantly, and the media have called it "The Leaky Condo Crisis." Theory states that metaphors can be helpful in changing how people feel toward, think about, and deal with their experiences. In this way metaphors can help people toward a more meaningful understanding of those experiences. In order to explore these ideas, a structured intervention was developed and called the MetaForm. It involves the creation of metaphors for an experience in order to explore the similarities and differences between the metaphor and the experience to derive meaning from or add meaning to the experience. To this end, each of four co-researchers was interviewed twice. The Intervention Interview introduced the MetaForm. The participants related their condominium stories, then they created metaphors for various parts of those stories. These parts were named after the elements of drama: setting, mood, props, cast, plot and theme. When a coresearcher suggested a metaphor, it was elaborated into a full story or drama by that coresearcher and myself. The Inquiry Interview explored the MetaForm for evidence of meaningful understanding. Participants reported that the MetaForm intervention helped them, to varying degrees and in different ways, to develop a more meaningful understanding of their experiences of owning and living in water-damaged condominiums.

description: A new, post-industrial, paradigm for agriculture is emerging under the concept of sustainable agriculture. The sustainability paradigm has emerged to solve problems created by the industrial model, primarily environmental pollution and resource base degradation. The role of farm size in this transformation to a more sustainable agriculture is the issue addressed. Using a descriptive approach, and relying on a survey of the literature including emerging paradigms and observations, we conclude that, from a sustainability perspective, the smallest effective size will be the most competitive size for farms, as for other knowledge-based enterprises of the future.

description: We propose a vision for directing research and education in the ICT field. Our Smart and Sustainable World vision targets at prosperity for the people and the planet through better awareness and control of both human-made and natural environment. The needs of the society, individuals, and industries are fulfilled with intelligent systems that sense their environment, make proactive decisions on actions advancing their goals, and perform the actions on the environment. We emphasize artificial intelligence, feedback loops, human acceptance and control, intelligent use of basic resources, performance parameters, mission-oriented interdisciplinary research, and a holistic systems view complementing the conventional analytical reductive view as a research paradigm especially for complex problems. To serve a broad audience, we explain these concepts and list the essential literature. We suggest planning research and education by specifying, in a step-wise manner, scenarios, performance criteria, system models, research problems and education content, resulting in common goals and a coherent project portfolio as well as education curricula. Research and education produce feedback to support evolutionary development and encourage creativity in research. Finally, we propose concrete actions for realizing this approach.

description: The paper studies the major trends in the agri-food trade in the NIS countries. It describes the trade flows, production cooperation and trade regimes within NIS countries; trade with the rest of the world and accession to the WTO. The key tested hypothesis of the paper is that intra-region trade dominate international trade in the NIS region, however this centrifugal tendency is forced by nation's specialization set in the Soviet period. The development process in the NIS countries will cause more deep international integration. Also paper measure IIT for the NIS countries both for trade within the region and beyond it as well as IIT for some particular groups af agri-food commodities. It allowed an author to understand whether product variety explain the growth in agri-food trade within NIS and beyond it.

description: The dynamics of health care have become increasingly complex and interdependent, requiring professionals to have the capacity for interdisciplinary and collaborative work that often transcends the limits of their own specialty. In the educational context, training health students in environments that promote interaction between different areas is essential to prepare them for the challenges of teamwork in the clinical environment. In this panorama, interprofessional education emerges as an innovative pedagogy that aims to equip future professionals with essential skills for collaborative practice. Therefore, this study aims to report the experience of developing and implementing a multidisciplinary escape room for students in the areas of nursing, medicine and physiotherapy, at a private university in Jaguariúna – Brazil. After a preliminary election, 40 students divided into teams of 5 people, with representatives from each of the three areas of study, passed through 2 stations, namely: emergency care for two patients: one with respiratory failure and the other with organophosphate poisoning accidental. At each station, in addition to riddles that needed to be solved for the groups who had 40 minutes to solve them to advance, there was a practice of multidisciplinary care to be carried out correctly. Teams were evaluated on effectiveness in communication, teamwork, collaborative decision-making, leadership, conflict management and problem solving under time pressure. The research methodology included direct observation. At the end of the experience, the groups received feedback regarding group performance and skills to be improved. The students were enthusiastic about the activity, and the majority highlighted that they could have more experiences like this, which would make them feel qualified for situations that require quick decision-making and teamwork, to achieve a satisfactory result in their professional practice. The use of a multidisciplinary escape room proved to be an innovative and effective strategy in interprofessional education. It promoted the development of collaborative skills among students, in addition to reinforcing the importance of communication and teamwork in the health sector. These findings suggest that the escape room can be a valuable tool to complement traditional training, preparing future healthcare professionals for a collaborative, patient-centered environment.

A Heart in the River
Creators: name: Dempsey, Jennifer Lynn
Publisher: name: Digital Repository at the University of Maryland

Subjects: subject: Fine arts
subject: American literature
subject: Literature
subject: Poems
subject: Poetry

description: Exploring the boundaries of relationships, A Heart in the River questions the personal connections through which we identify the self. Through poems about war, poker, and family history, the speaker delves into memory and the devolution --then renewal-- of trust. The Midwest, particularly northern Michigan, grounds the manuscript in nature; landscapes with rivers, birds, and a black walnut tree juxtapose with the artificial scenery and actions of civilization. The thesis is organized in three sections, each creating emotional and physical borders the speaker wishes to break, and it is only through sound and movement --both thematically and formally-- that any reconciliation may be reached.

The Grey Hoodie Project: Big Tobacco, Big Tech, and the threat on academic integrity

description: As governmental bodies rely on academics' expert advice to shape policy regarding Artificial Intelligence, it is important that these academics not have conflicts of interests that may cloud or bias their judgement. Our work explores how Big Tech can actively distort the academic landscape to suit its needs. By comparing the well-studied actions of another industry (Big Tobacco) to the current actions of Big Tech we see similar strategies employed by both industries. These strategies enable either industry to sway and influence academic and public discourse. We examine the funding of academic research as a tool used by Big Tech to put forward a socially responsible public image, influence events hosted by and decisions made by funded universities, influence the research questions and plans of individual scientists, and discover receptive academics who can be leveraged. We demonstrate how Big Tech can affect academia from the institutional level down to individual researchers. Thus, we believe that it is vital, particularly for universities and other institutions of higher learning, to discuss the appropriateness and the tradeoffs of accepting funding from Big Tech, and what limitations or conditions should be put in place.

The Gaffnian and Haffnian: physical relevance of non-unitary CFT for incompressible fractional quantum Hall effect

description: We motivate a close look on the usefulness of the Gaffnian and Haffnian quasihole manifold (null spaces of the respective model Hamiltonians) for well-known gapped fractional quantum Hall (FQH) phases. The conformal invariance of these subspaces are derived explicitly from microscopic many-body states. The resultant CFT description leads to an intriguing emergent primary field with $h=2,c=0$, and we argue the quasihole manifolds are quantum mechanically well-defined and well-behaved. Focusing on the incompressible phases at $ν=1/3$ and $ν=2/5$, we show the low-lying excitations of the Laughlin phase are quantum fluids of Gaffnian and Haffnian quasiholes, and give a microscopic argument showing that the Haffnian model Hamiltonian is gapless against Laughlin quasielectrons. We discuss the thermal Hall conductance and shot noise measurements at $ν=2/5$, and argue that the experimental observations can be understood from the dynamics within the Gaffnian quasihole manifold. A number of detailed predictions on these experimental measurements are proposed, and we discuss their relationships to the conventional CFT arguments and the composite fermion descriptions.

description: Efforts to understand disclosure of abuse for victims of intimate partner violence have largely focused on characteristics of disclosure rather than the consequences of disclosure. Past research has found that disclosure of abuse to formal and informal sources of support is common among victims of intimate partner violence (Fanslow & Robinson, 2010), however little research exists that attempts to explain the effect that disclosure has on a victim’s ability to survive abuse. This thesis draws upon arguments from Edward Gondolf’s survivor theory (Edwards & Gondolf, 1988) and contends that the act of disclosing is an important step in seeking help from public services in order to escape or reduce abuse. It posits that the effect of disclosure of abuse varies across a number of characteristics. Using National Intimate Partner and Sexual Violence Survey data, this thesis finds that the effect of disclosure on the likelihood that a victim receives needed services varies across type of support to whom the victim discloses, type of service needed, and seriousness of violence.
