description: Background: Opioid use disorder (OUD) is associated with significant functional impairment and neurocognitive dysfunction, but only a handful of studies have investigated social cognitive abilities in this condition. This study aimed to investigate facial emotion recognition accuracy/biases and two different aspects of theory of mind (ToM) (ToM-decoding vs ToM-reasoning) in people with recovered OUD. Methods: The participants included 32 people with recovered OUD who were on Buprenorphine + Naloxone (B/N) maintenance treatment and 32 healthy controls. In addition to neurocognitive tasks, both groups were assessed by a facial emotion recognition task, the faux pas recognition task, and the reading the mind from the eyes task. Results: In comparison to healthy controls, people on B/N maintenance treatment showed deficits in facial emotion recognition (d = 1.32) and both aspects of ToM (d = 0.87–1.21). In analyses of individual emotions, people on B/N maintenance treatment had decreased accuracy in recognition of anger and fear and had a bias to identify other emotions as sad. The duration of opioid use was robustly associated with difficulties in the recognition of anger. Conclusion: People in B/N maintenance treatment have significant difficulties in recognizing the emotions and mental states of others. Deficits in social cognition might be important for understanding the difficulties in interpersonal and social functioning in people with OUD.

description: Статья посвящена переменам, произошедшим в театрах кукол за последние десятилетия. Изменилось все: оборудование, репертуар, квалификация артистов, система образования, роль сценографии, театральные техники. Претерпевала изменения сама форма куклы: от палочной, перчаточной, тростевой и марионетки через маски, скульптуры, деформированные фигуры к бытовым предметам, объектам вплоть до «марионеточного» актера. Понятие куклы, аниманта в современном театре значительно расширяется. Этот тип искусства представлен на фестивалях, проходящих по всему миру, но не в обычных кукольных театрах, которым ужасно недостает творцов, визионеров, художников.The article is devoted to the changes that have occurred in the puppet theatres in recent decades. Everything has changed: equipment, repertoire, qualiﬁcation of artists, the system of education, the role of scenography, theatrical techniques. The shape of the doll itself has changed: from the stick, glove, cane and puppet through masks, sculptures, deformed ﬁ gu res to everyday objects, objects up to the “puppet” actor. The concept of a doll, an animant in a modern theatre, is expanding signiﬁcantly. This type of art is represented at festivals that take place all over the world, but not by ordinary puppet theatres, which lack creators, visionaries, artists terribly.

description: Melt-mixing in twin-screw extruders is a key process in the development of polymer composites. Quantifying the mixing performance of kneading elements based on their internal physical processes is a challenging problem. We discuss melt-mixing by novel kneading elements called "pitched-tip kneading disk (ptKD)". The disk-stagger angle and tip angle are the main geometric parameters of the ptKDs. We investigated four typical arrangements of the ptKDs, which are forward and backward disk-staggers combined with forward and backward tips. Numerical simulations under a certain feed rate and screw revolution speed were performed, and the mixing process was investigated using Lagrangian statistics. It was found that the four types had different mixing characteristics, and their mixing processes were explained by the coupling effect of drag flow with the disk staggering and pitched-tip and pressure flows, which are controlled by operational conditions. The use of a pitched-tip effectively to controls the balance of the pressurization and mixing ability.

description: We theoretically and numerically analyze a five-layer "trapped rainbow" waveguide made of a passive negative refractive index (NRI) core layer and gain strips in the cladding. Analytic transfer-matrix calculations and full-wave time-domain simulations are deployed to calculate, both in the frequency- and in the time-domain, the losses or gain experienced by complex-wavevector and complex-frequency modes. We find an excellent agreement between five distinct sets of results, all showing that the use of evanescent pumping (gain) can compensate the losses in the NRI slow-light regime.

description: Background: Adolescence is a common time for experimentation with substance use and the emergence of sex differences in substance use patterns. Although similar in early adolescence, male and female substance use patterns historically diverge by young adulthood, with males using more substances than females. We aim to add to current literature by utilizing a nationally representative sample, assessing a broad range of substances used, and focusing on a sentinel period during which sex differences emerge. We hypothesized that certain sex-specific substance use patterns emerge in adolescence. Methods: Data are from the 2019 Youth Risk Behavior Survey (n = 13,677), a nationally representative sample of high school students. Weighted logistic analyses of covariance adjusting for race/ethnicity evaluated males’ and females’ substance use (14 outcomes) by age category. Results: Among all adolescents, more males reported illicit substance use and cigarette smoking than females, whereas more females reported prescription opioid misuse, synthetic cannabis use, recent alcohol use, and binge drinking. Divergence between male and female use usually occurred at 18+ years. Odds of using most illicit substances were significantly greater among males than females at age 18+ years (aORs 1.7–4.47). Among 18+ year-olds, males and females did not differ in electronic vapor product use, alcohol use, binge drinking, cannabis use, synthetic cannabis use, cigarette smoking, or prescription opioid misuse. Conclusions: Sex differences in adolescent use of most but not all substances emerge by age 18+ years. Sex-specific patterns of adolescent substance use may inform specific prevention efforts and identify peak ages for intervention.

description: Background: Impulsivity is implicated in the development and maintenance of Cocaine Use Disorder (CUD). Less work has examined impulsivity’s role on interest in initiating treatment, treatment adherence, or treatment response. No pharmacotherapies are approved for CUD, so efforts to understand and bolster the effects of psychotherapy are important in guiding and refining treatment. The present study examined the impact of impulsivity on interest in treatment, treatment initiation, treatment adherence, and treatment outcomes in individuals with CUD. Methods: Following the completion of a larger study on impulsivity and CUD participants were offered 14 sessions of (12 weeks) Cognitive Behavioral Relapse Prevention (CBT-RP). Before starting treatment, participants completed seven self-report and four behavioral measures of impulsivity. Sixty-eight healthy adults (36% female) with CUD (aged 49.4 ± 7.9) expressed an interest in treatment. Results: Greater scores on several self-report measures of impulsivity, and fewer difficulties with delayed gratification were associated with increased interest in treatment in both males and females. 55 participants attended at least 1 treatment session, while 13 participants did attend a single session. Individuals who attended at least one treatment session scored lower on measures of lack of perseverance and procrastination. Still, measures of impulsivity did not reliably predict session attendance nor the frequency of cocaine-positive urine samples throughout treatment. Males attended nearly twice as many treatment sessions as females despite nonsignificant associations between impulsivity in males and the number of sessions attended. Conclusions: Greater impulsivity in individuals with CUD was associated with expressing an interest in treatment, but not treatment adherence or response.

description: Saturation of small-x gluons in a nucleus, which has the form of transverse momentum broadening of projectile gluons in pA collisions in the nuclear rest frame, leads to a modification of the parton distribution functions in the beam compared with pp collisions. The DGLAP driven gluon distribution turns out to be suppressed at large x, but significantly enhanced at x<<1. This is a high twist effect. In the case of nucleus-nucleus collisions all participating nucleons on both sides get enriched in gluon density at small x, which leads to a further boosting of the saturation scale. We derive reciprocity equations for the saturation scales corresponding to a collision of two nuclei. The solution of these equations for central collisions of two heavy nuclei demonstrate a significant, up to several times, enhancement of Q_{sA}^2, in AA compared with pA collisions.

Linking function and phylogeny in microbiomes using TreeSAPP
Creators: name: Morgan-Lang, Connor
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2022

description: Microorganisms within the domains Bacteria and Archaea are the most ancient and abundant forms of life in Earth’s biosphere. Their profound diversity manifests resilient communities that extend into virtually every conceivable niche. Over the past decade, high-throughput DNA sequencing of whole communities has transformed our perception of these branches of life, illuminating uncultivated lineages and conceptually linking microorganisms at various levels of biological organization to global-scale biogeochemical cycles. A core set of genes mediating transformations of energy and matter that drive a wide range of ecosystem services and functions evolved early in life’s history. Yet, identifying these functional and phylogenetic anchor genes amidst a veritable haystack of sequence information remains a challenging endeavour. In addition to common limitations including inefficient and overly permissible homology search methods, contemporary annotation tools fail to account for the paltry representation of extant diversity in natural and engineered environments leading to biased interpretations. To this end, I have developed the Tree-based Sensitive and Accurate Phylogenetic Profiler (TreeSAPP), a Python package for gene-centric analysis of microbial communities. TreeSAPP creates, updates, and leverages structured data objects called reference packages for homology search, phylogenetic placement, and taxonomic assignment of protein sequences. In comparison to related tools, TreeSAPP exhibits better classification performance and a broader suite of functions relevant to microbial ecology. I showcase recent improvements to the classification pipeline and introduce a supervised phylogeny partitioning algorithm useful in defining operational protein clusters compatible with common diversity estimation metrics. Example workflows are provided to construct accurate and inclusive reference packages in a principled manner, and quantify marker gene sequences in environmental datasets. Finally, I demonstrate the capabilities of TreeSAPP in a census of methane-cycling and alkane-transforming archaea, revealing expanded ecosystem ranges and support for numerous novel lineages that encode methyl-coenzyme M reductase. Resulting reference packages and data products provide a framework for developing molecular tools with which to probe and enrich for microbial agents driving selected environmental transformations and inform gene-centric modeling efforts to predict microbial community responses to environmental perturbation.
A STUDY ON WASTE UTILIZATION OF MARBLE DUST IN HIGH STRENGTH CONCRETE MIX

Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2015

description: Marble is a standout amongst the most imperative materials utilized as a part of the development business. Marble powder is delivered from the preparing plants amid the sawing and cleaning of the marble squares and around 20 - 25% of the handled marble is transformed into powder structure i.e., marble powder. Marble dust which is a waste material from development site is blended with concrete as a substitution. As marble powder is the waste item which is gotten amid the procedure of sawing and molding of the marble by the guardian marble rock, contains substantial metals in it which makes the water unfit for use. Marble powder makes numerous ecological issues. Because of ecological issues, it greatly affects the human wellbeing and also on the nature. To control its belongings we need to utilize this waste. Marble dust which is a waste material from the development site is blended with the solid.

description: Using a graph approach to quantum systems, we prove that descriptions of 3-dim Kochen-Specker (KS) setups as well as descriptions of 3-dim spin systems by means of Greechie lattices that we find in the literature are wrong. Correct lattices generated by McKay-Megill-Pavicic (MMP) hypergraphs and Hilbert subspace equations are given. To enable exhaustive generations of 3-dim KS setups by means of recently found "stripping technique," bipartite graph generation is used to provide us with lattices with equal numbers of elements and blocks (orthogonal triples of elements) - up to 41 of them. We obtain several new results on such lattices and hypergraphs, in particular on properties such as superposition and orthoraguesian equations. Since a bipartite graph approach has recently been applied to CSS (Calderbank-Shor-Steane) and graph states on the one hand, and span programs, quantum walks, and quantum search on the other, our results also enable the study of these quantum information fields by means of hypergraphs and lattices.

description: We study the critical effect of quarantine on the propagation of epidemics on an adaptive network of social contacts. For this purpose, we analyze the susceptible-infected-recovered (SIR) model in the presence of quarantine, where susceptible individuals protect themselves by disconnecting their links to infected neighbors with probability w, and reconnecting them to other susceptible individuals chosen at random. Starting from a single infected individual, we show by an analytical approach and simulations that there is a phase transition at a critical rewiring (quarantine) threshold w_c separating a phase (w= w_c) where the disease does not spread out. We find that in our model the topology of the network strongly affects the size of the propagation, and that w_c increases with the mean degree and heterogeneity of the network. We also find that w_c is reduced if we perform a preferential rewiring, in which the rewiring probability is proportional to the degree of infected nodes.

Uprootedness : dwelling on life through disrupted language
Creators: name: Qasim, Wasan
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2022

description: Leaving one’s homeland involves seeking recognition in new surroundings, coming to terms with the reality of displacement, resisting the uprootedness or living in memories. In this thesis, I tackle the idea of being displaced and living away from one’s own place of birth, whether the leaving was by force or by choice, whether it was a physical or mental displacement and whether the result was negative or positive. I explore these questions: How does one navigate through the complex journey of reconstructing one’s life in a new place? Does writing poetry heal some of the suffering? Can one leave the past and live in the present? I also try to explore questions related to the miseries of war, the complexities of bilingualism, and the cultural and identity shifts associated with the teaching of English in the context of non-native speaker teachers and the challenges they face. Using the methodology of poetic inquiry, I attempt to reflect on the topic of starting a new life and tackling nostalgia by breaking up the language and displacing words through generative processes to re-present the text and unearth meaning by mapping my life’s journey and thus exploring the notion of what makes a home a home. My thesis is essentially an attempt to invoke the past to reconstruct the present through experimenting with different forms of processed iterations through different constraints to produce poems that reflect my journey. I am hoping that the emerging poems based on autoethnography through the lens of poetic inquiry will resonate with others, no matter how they interpret them.

A numerical analysis is made concerning the obtained perturbative parameters. It is shown that there is a correspondence between polytropic and gas sphere thermal models for fermions and bosons. For instance, the polytropic index $n$ displays evident correlation with temperature and chemical potential.

description: We report on the realization of a sodium Bose--Einstein condensate (BEC) in a combined red-detuned optical dipole trap, formed by two beams crossing in a horizontal plane and a third, tightly focused dimple trap propagating vertically. We produce a BEC in three main steps: loading of the crossed dipole trap from laser-cooled atoms, an intermediate evaporative cooling stage which results in efficient loading of the auxiliary dimple trap, and a final evaporative cooling stage in the dimple trap. Our protocol is implemented in a compact setup and allows us to reach quantum degeneracy even with relatively modest initial atom numbers and available laser power.

Small challenges, big challenges : understanding and supporting the development of emotion-related self-regulation in schools
Creators: name: Lisaingo, Simon
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2022

description: Challenges are important for learning. Research on self- and emotion regulation describes the effective and adaptive beliefs, strategies, and supportive contexts that help students in schools overcome small and big challenges at school and in life. Conjoint behavioural consultation, in which parents and teachers work with a consultant to address challenging behaviour, has been demonstrated as an effective intervention for externalizing problems (e.g., non-compliance, hyperactivity) but has not been widely applied to students with internalizing problems (e.g., anxiety, depression). There is a need to integrate contemporary research with effective models of intervention to best support students with significant difficulties regulating their emotions. The current study explored the development of a collaborative, consultative intervention for young adolescents with emerging emotional and behavioural difficulties in schools and at home. Rich and in-depth descriptions of five case studies, each involving a student with their parent(s) and a teacher, are presented. The researcher was also the consultant for each case. Data included questionnaires, interviews with parents, teachers, and students, home and school observations, and daily rating forms. The descriptions provide insight into the processes involved in the young adolescents’ development of emotion regulation. Eight cross- case themes were identified that represented key individual and contextual characteristics and key intervention components and processes: personalizing supports based on strengths and needs; considering motivation for and about change; reconciling context and relationships; viewing emotion regulation as more than coping; building and bridging trust; providing support and an outside perspective; collaborating to create opportunities for growth; and facilitating awareness, understanding, and insights. This study makes unique contributions to research on self- and emotion regulation and conjoint behavioural consultation.

description: We report the discovery of a transiting planet orbiting the star TYC 6446-326-1. The star, WASP-22, is a moderately bright (V=12.0) solar-type star (Teff = 6000 +/- 100 K, [Fe/H] = -0.05 +/- 0.08). The lightcurve of the star obtained with the WASP-South instrument shows periodic transit-like features with a depth of about 1 and a duration of 0.14 days. The presence of a transit-like feature in the lightcurve is confirmed using z-band photometry obtained with Faulkes Telescope South. High resolution spectroscopy obtained with the CORALIE and HARPS spectrographs confirm the presence of a planetary mass companion with an orbital period of 3.533 days in a near-circular orbit. From a combined analysis of the spectroscopic and photometric data assuming that the star is a typical main-sequence star we estimate that the planet has a mass M_p = 0.56 +/- 0.02 M_Jup and a radius R_p = 1.12 +/- 0.04 R_Jup. In addition, there is a linear trend of 40 m/s/yr in the radial velocities measured over 16 months, from which we infer the presence of a third body with a long period orbit in this system. The companion may be a low mass M-dwarf, a white dwarf or a second planet.

description: arge amounts of annotated data have become moreimportant than ever, especially since the rise of deep learningtechniques. However, manual annotations are costly. We proposea tool that enables researchers to create large, high-quality,annotated datasets with only a few manual annotations, thusstrongly reducing annotation cost and effort. For this purpose,we combine an active learning (AL) approach with a pre-trained language model to semi-automatically identify annotationcategories in the given text documents. To highlight our researchdirection’s potential, we evaluate the approach on the task ofidentifying frames in news articles. Our preliminary results showthat employing AL strongly reduces the number of annotationsfor correct classification of even these complex and subtle frames.On the framing dataset, the AL approach needs only 16.3% of theannotations to reach the same performance as a model trainedon the full dataset.

description: Наследие Михаила Чехова было по-разному воспринято в Советском Союзе и в Северной Америке, где его метод применялся очень широко и практикуется по сегодняшний день, в частности благодаря усилиям двух последних учениц актера, Малы Пауэрс (1931-2007) и Джоанны Мерлин, основательниц и сопредседателей Ассоциации Михаила Чехова (MICHA). Но мало кто из исследователей занимался тем, как развивались метод и терминология Чехова в период между 1928 и 1955 гг. Статья призвана ответить на этот вопрос.The heritage of Michael Chekhov was accepted in the USSR and in North America in different ways. In America his Method has been used widely and is practiced till today, in particular thanks to his last two students, Mala Powers and Joanna Merlin, the founders and presidents of Michael Chekhov Associasion (MICHA). But not many researchers occupied themselves with the question how Chekhov’s Method and terminology had been developed between 1928 and 1955 years. The article is called on to answer this question.

description: Fundamental topological phenomena in condensed matter physics are associated with a quantized electromagnetic response in units of fundamental constants. Recently, it has been predicted theoretically that the time-reversal invariant topological insulator in three dimensions exhibits a topological magnetoelectric effect quantized in units of the fine structure constant $α=e^2/\hbar c$. In this work, we propose an optical experiment to directly measure this topological quantization phenomenon, independent of material details. Our proposal also provides a way to measure the half-quantized Hall conductances on the two surfaces of the topological insulator independently of each other.

Cooperative Convex Optimization in Networked Systems: Augmented Lagrangian Algorithms with Directed Gossip Communication

description: We study distributed optimization in networked systems, where nodes cooperate to find the optimal quantity of common interest, x=x^\star. The objective function of the corresponding optimization problem is the sum of private (known only by a node,) convex, nodes' objectives and each node imposes a private convex constraint on the allowed values of x. We solve this problem for generic connected network topologies with asymmetric random link failures with a novel distributed, decentralized algorithm. We refer to this algorithm as AL-G (augmented Lagrangian gossiping,) and to its variants as AL-MG (augmented Lagrangian multi neighbor gossiping) and AL-BG (augmented Lagrangian broadcast gossiping.) The AL-G algorithm is based on the augmented Lagrangian dual function. Dual variables are updated by the standard method of multipliers, at a slow time scale. To update the primal variables, we propose a novel, Gauss-Seidel type, randomized algorithm, at a fast time scale. AL-G uses unidirectional gossip communication, only between immediate neighbors in the network and is resilient to random link failures. For networks with reliable communication (i.e., no failures,) the simplified, AL-BG (augmented Lagrangian broadcast gossiping) algorithm reduces communication, computation and data storage cost. We prove convergence for all proposed algorithms and demonstrate by simulations the effectiveness on two applications: l_1-regularized logistic regression for classification and cooperative spectrum sensing for cognitive radio networks.

description: The walls of the Chilean fjords are hotspots of biodiversity, but also threatened by the development of salmonid farming and coastal infrastructure. One of the consequences of these activities is the increase of sediment load in a region of high natural run-off. The cold-water coral (CWC) Caryophyllia huinayensis abounds on the steep slopes of the fjords. Its distribution, often in the shelter of overhangs, suggests a natural sensitivity to sedimentation, but actual data on the susceptibility of this coral species to sediment is lacking. Here, we explore sedimentation effects on the putatively sensitive juvenile stages of C. huinayensis. In general, it is important to understand the capabilities of CWC recruits to cope with anthropogenic impacts as their viability is the guarantee for the population future. In order to determine the resilience of juvenile C. huinayensis to sediment stress, a three-month aquaria experiment was conducted with three sediment loads: the current natural sediment concentration in Comau Fjord, 100- and 1000-fold higher values expected from local construction and coastal erosion. Measured response variables were polyp activity, and variation in coral mass and in calyx dimensions. Under high turbidity, polyp activity was clearly reduced, therefore significantly affecting prey capture effectivity and thus nutrition. Hence, the management plans for the area need to take into account the deleterious effects of increased sedimentation on vulnerable CWCs.

description: The lifetimes for the high spin levels of the yrast band of $^{110}$Cd has been measured. The estimated B(E2) values decrease with increase in angular momentum. This is the characteristic of Anti magnetic rotation as reported in $^{106,108}$Cd. However, alignment behavior of $^{110}$Cd is completely different from its even-even neighbors. A model based on classical particle plus rotor has been used to explore the underlying systematics and develop a self consistent picture for the observed behavior of these isotopes.

description: We report the observation of a colossal, narrow resistance peak that arises in ultraclean (mobility 3X10^7cm^2/Vs) GaAs/AlGaAs quantum wells (QWs) under millimeterwave irradiation and a weak magnetic field. Such a spike is superposed on the 2nd harmonic microwave-induced resistance oscillations (MIRO) but having an amplitude > 300% of the MIRO, and a typical FWHM ~50 mK, comparable with the Landau level width. Systematic studies show a correlation between the spike and a pronounced negative magnetoresistance in these QWs, suggesting a mechanism based on the interplay of strong scatterers and smooth disorder. Alternatively, the spike may be interpreted as a manifestation of quantum interference between the quadrupole resonance and the higher-order cyclotron transition in well-separated Landau levels.
