Energy drinks mixed with alcohol: Misconceptions, myths, and facts
Creators: name: Verster, Joris

name: Alford, Chris
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: Background: Whilst energy drinks improve performance and feelings of alertness, recent articles suggest that energy drink consumption combined with alcohol may reduce perception of alcohol intoxication, or lead to increased alcohol or drug use. This review discusses the available scientific evidence on the effects of mixing energy drinks with alcohol.
Methods: A literature search was performed using the keywords “energy drink and Red Bull®” and consulting Medline/Pubmed, PsycINFO, and Embase.
Results: There is little evidence that energy drinks antagonize the behavioral effects of alcohol, and there is no consistent evidence that energy drinks alter the perceived level of intoxication of people who mix energy drinks with alcohol. No clinically relevant cardiovascular or other adverse effects have been reported for healthy subjects combining energy drinks with alcohol, although there are no long-term investigations currently available. Finally, whilst several surveys have shown associations, there is no direct evidence that coadministration of energy drinks increases alcohol consumption, or initiates drug and alcohol dependence or abuse.
Conclusion: Although some reports suggest that energy drinks lead to reduced awareness of intoxication and increased alcohol consumption, a review of the available literature shows that these views are not supported by direct or reliable scientific evidence. A personality with higher levels of risk-taking behavior may be the primary reason for increased alcohol and drug abuse per se. The coconsumption of energy drinks being one of the many expressions of that type of lifestyle and personality.

description: We theoretically investigate the one-dimensional dynamics of a dark soliton in a two-component immiscible mixture of Bose-Einstein condensates with repulsive interactions. We analyze the reflection and transmission of a soliton when it propagates through the domain wall, and we show that a dark-bright soliton can be dynamically generated by the interaction of the dark soliton with the domain wall, outside the regime of parameters where stationary solutions are known to exist. The dynamics of this dark-bright soliton is harmonic like, with a numerical frequency that is in good agreement with the predictions of a semi-analytical model.

description: مسجد، همواره مهمترین پایگاه، پناهگاه و سنگر دفاع از حریم دین مقدس اسلام و تجلی گاه عشق، عبادت، خضوع و خشوع به درگاه پروردگار عالمیان بوده و قدمتی به اندازه خود اسلام دارد. اولین مسجد با ورود پیامبر اسلام(ص) به مدینه تاسیس شد و پیامبر گرامی اسلام(ص) پایه گذار اولین مسجد دنیای اسلام است. او مکانی را پایه گذاری کرد که علاوه بر عهده دار بودن نقش روحانی و معنوی، کانون فعالیت های اجتماعی مسلمانان نیز به شمار می رفت. بدین ترتیب مسجد که خود یک نهاد تمدن اسلامی بود به زودی، به عنصر مادی و عینی در کنار عنصر فرهنگی اسلام تبدیل شد و در تمدن سازی دخیل گشت و به تدریج با توسعه گسترده تمدن اسلامی جای خود را به عنوان نماد اسلام در سراسر بلاد اسلامی باز کرد به طوری که هر کجا و در هر شهر و قریه ای که مسجدی وجود داشت، آن منطقه جزیی از قلمرو فکری و فرهنگی و البته گاه سیاسی اسلام شمرده می شد. در این نوشتار سعی بر آن است تا ابتدا مراد از معنای واژه مسجد ذکر گردیده و سپس برخی احکام آن اعم از واجبات، مستحبات، مکروهات و حرام های آن و همچنین نقش های آن شامل پایگاه عبادت و یاد خدا، کارکردهای تربیتی و شکل دهی به جامعه اسلامی، پایگاه جهاد فکری و تعلیم و فراگیری معارف اسلامی، پایگاه انقلاب و حرکت بیان شود. در ادامه به اهمیت و فضیلت جایگاه مسجد پرداخته و روایاتی در این باره ذکر شده است، سپس به تبیین اغراض و فلسفه وجودی و فقهی مساجد بر مبنای روایتی از امام حسن مجتبی(ع) پرداخته و در خاتمه مطالبی در باب مسجد جامع و علت برگزاری نماز جمعه در آن ارایه گردیده است.

Notes.
This collection was identified as Dictyosporium hughesii based on the phylogenetic analysis and morphological characteristics. Phylogenetic analysis of the combined ITS, LSU, and tef 1 - α sequence data showed that our new strain (KUNCC 23-15923) clustered with the ex-type strain of Di. hughesii (KT 1847) with 97 % ML and 1.00 PP support (Fig. 1). Morphologically, the conidia of our new collection are slightly larger (56–68 µm vs. 40–47 µm), and the appendages are not prominent. Di. hughesii has been found on dead leaves of Rhopalostylis sapida in New Zealand (McKenzie 2010) and on dead branches of Stewartia monadelpha in Japan (Ghosh et al. 2015; Tanaka et al. 2015), and herein it is reported from submerged decaying wood in a freshwater habitat in China.

description: We show that many machine-learning algorithms are specific instances of a single algorithm called the \emph{Bayesian learning rule}. The rule, derived from Bayesian principles, yields a wide-range of algorithms from fields such as optimization, deep learning, and graphical models. This includes classical algorithms such as ridge regression, Newton's method, and Kalman filter, as well as modern deep-learning algorithms such as stochastic-gradient descent, RMSprop, and Dropout. The key idea in deriving such algorithms is to approximate the posterior using candidate distributions estimated by using natural gradients. Different candidate distributions result in different algorithms and further approximations to natural gradients give rise to variants of those algorithms. Our work not only unifies, generalizes, and improves existing algorithms, but also helps us design new ones.

description: New complexes, [Fe(L)Cl], [Ni(L)], and [Zn(L)C2H5OH] (1–3), were synthesized by template reaction of 2-hydroxy-acetophenone-S-methyl-thiosemicarbazone with 2-hydroxy-benzaldehyde. The compounds were characterized by elemental analysis, magnetic measurements, FT-IR, 1H NMR, UV–visible, and ESI–MS spectra. In these complexes, the ligand is coordinated to the metal ion as dinegatively charged tetradentate chelating agents via the N2O2 donor set. The iron(III) and zinc(II) complexes exhibit square pyramidal geometry whereas the nickel(II) complex has a square planar geometry. The crystal structure of 1, determined by X-ray diffraction method, indicates that 1 crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P21/c with Z = 4. Thermal decompositions of the compounds have been investigated using TGA in air.

description: Background: Medical decision-making impacts both individual and public health. Clinical scores are commonly used among a wide variety of decision-making models for determining the degree of disease deterioration at the bedside. AutoScore was proposed as a useful clinical score generator based on machine learning and a generalized linear model. Its current framework, however, still leaves room for improvement when addressing unbalanced data of rare events. Methods: Using machine intelligence approaches, we developed AutoScore-Imbalance, which comprises three components: training dataset optimization, sample weight optimization, and adjusted AutoScore. All scoring models were evaluated on the basis of their area under the curve (AUC) in the receiver operating characteristic analysis and balanced accuracy (i.e., mean value of sensitivity and specificity). By utilizing a publicly accessible dataset from Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, we assessed the proposed model and baseline approaches in the prediction of inpatient mortality. Results: AutoScore-Imbalance outperformed baselines in terms of AUC and balanced accuracy. The nine-variable AutoScore-Imbalance sub-model achieved the highest AUC of 0.786 (0.732-0.839) while the eleven-variable original AutoScore obtained an AUC of 0.723 (0.663-0.783), and the logistic regression with 21 variables obtained an AUC of 0.743 (0.685-0.800). The AutoScore-Imbalance sub-model (using down-sampling algorithm) yielded an AUC of 0. 0.771 (0.718-0.823) with only five variables, demonstrating a good balance between performance and variable sparsity. Conclusions: The AutoScore-Imbalance tool has the potential to be applied to highly unbalanced datasets to gain further insight into rare medical events and to facilitate real-world clinical decision-making.

description: We work out the effective scaling approach to frictionless quantum quenches in a one-dimensional Bose gas trapped in a harmonic trap. The effective scaling approach produces an auxiliary equation for the scaling parameter interpolating between the noninteracting and the Thomas-Fermi limits. This allows us to implement a frictionless quench by engineering inversely the smooth trap frequency, as compared to the two-jump trajectory. Our result is beneficial to design the shortcut-to-adiabaticity expansion of trapped Bose gases for arbitrary values of interaction, and can be directly extended to the three-dimensional case.

Modeling the effects of anesthesia on the electroencephalogram
Creators: name: Bojak, I.
name: Liley, David
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: Changes to the electroencephalogram (EEG) observed during general anesthesia are modeled with a physiological mean field theory of electrocortical activity. To this end a parametrization of the postsynaptic impulse response is introduced which takes into account pharmacological effects of anesthetic agents on neuronal ligand-gated ionic channels. Parameter sets for this improved theory are then identified which respect known anatomical constraints and predict mean firing rates and power spectra typically encountered in human subjects. Through parallelized simulations of the eight nonlinear, two-dimensional partial differential equations on a grid representing an entire human cortex, it is demonstrated that linear approximations are sufficient for the prediction of a range of quantitative EEG variables. More than 70 000 plausible parameter sets are finally selected and subjected to a simulated induction with the stereotypical inhaled general anesthetic isoflurane. Thereby 86 parameter sets are identified that exhibit a strong 'biphasic' rise in total power, a feature often observed in experiments. A sensitivity study suggests that this 'biphasic' behavior is distinguishable even at low agent concentrations. Finally, our results are briefly compared with previous work by other groups and an outlook on future fits to experimental data is provided.
Collaborative scholarship as a means of improving both university teaching practice and research capability

description: The literature suggests generic workshops on the scholarship of teaching and learning (SoTL) rarely have a lasting impact on teaching. Seeking an alternative approach, academic developers designed a four-stage Collaborative Scholarship Model where they provided individualised SoTL mentoring to academics implementing a teaching innovation. Project outcomes included sustained change to teaching, openness to new ideas, scholarly contributions and peer recognition (through awards, publications or invited presentations). This model had a sustained impact on participants’ teaching and increased research productivity. Although few individuals can be mentored at one time in this labour-intensive model, long-term benefits may still outweigh limitations in scalability.

description: Objective: Temporal electronic health records (EHRs) can be a wealth of information for secondary uses, such as clinical events prediction or chronic disease management. However, challenges exist for temporal data representation. We therefore sought to identify these challenges and evaluate novel methodologies for addressing them through a systematic examination of deep learning solutions.
 Methods: We searched five databases (PubMed, EMBASE, the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers [IEEE] Xplore Digital Library, the Association for Computing Machinery [ACM] digital library, and Web of Science) complemented with hand-searching in several prestigious computer science conference proceedings. We sought articles that reported deep learning methodologies on temporal data representation in structured EHR data from January 1, 2010, to August 30, 2020. We summarized and analyzed the selected articles from three perspectives: nature of time series, methodology, and model implementation.
 Results: We included 98 articles related to temporal data representation using deep learning. Four major challenges were identified, including data irregularity, data heterogeneity, data sparsity, and model opacity. We then studied how deep learning techniques were applied to address these challenges. Finally, we discuss some open challenges arising from deep learning.
 Conclusion: Temporal EHR data present several major challenges for clinical prediction modeling and data utilization. To some extent, current deep learning solutions can address these challenges. Future studies can consider designing comprehensive and integrated solutions. Moreover, researchers should incorporate additional clinical domain knowledge into study designs and enhance the interpretability of the model to facilitate its implementation in clinical practice.

description: An exponential increase in the data rate demand prompted several technical innovations. Multi User Multiple Input Multiple Output (MU-MIMO) is one of the most promising schemes. This has been evolved into Massive MIMO technology in 5G to further stretch the network throughput. Massive MIMO tackles the rising data rate with the increase in the number of antenna. This comes at the price of a higher energy consumption. Moreover the high velocity users in MU-MIMO scheme experiences a frequent unpredictable change in the channel condition that degrade its downlink performance. Therefore a proper number of antenna selection is of paramount importance. This issue has been addressed using machine learning techniques and Channel State Information (CSI) but only for static users. In this study we propose to introduce antenna diversity in spatial multiplexing MU-MIMO transmission scheme by operating more number of reception antenna compare to the number of transmission antenna. The diversity improves the downlink performance of high velocity users. In general our results can be interpreted for large scale antenna systems like Massive MIMO.

description: A limitation of bandwidth in the wireless network and the exponential rise in the high data rate requirement prompted the development of Massive Multiple-Input-Multiple-Output (MIMO) technique in 5G. Using this method the ever rising data rate can be met with the increment of the number of antennas. This comes at the price of energy consumption of higher amount, complex network setups and maintenance. Moreover a high-velocity user experiences unpredictable fluctuations in the channel condition that deteriorates the downlink performance. Therefore a proper number of antenna selection is of paramount importance. This issue has been addressed using different categories of algorithms but only for static users. In this study we proffer to implement antenna diversity in closed loop spatial multiplexing MIMO transmission scheme by operating more number of reception antennas than the number of transmission antennas for ameliorating the downlink performance of high-velocity users in case of single user MIMO technology. In general our results can be interpreted for large scale antenna systems like Massive MIMO even though a 4x4 MIMO system has been executed to carry out this study here. Additionally it shows great prospects for solving practical life problems like low data rate and call drops during handover to be experienced by cellular users traveling by high-speed transportation systems like Dhaka Metro Rail. The cell edge users are anticipated to get benefits from this method in case of SU-MIMO technology. The proposed method is expected to be easily implemented in the existing network structures with nominal difficulties.

description: Traditionally, farms expand by buying out a neighbour. But might remote partnerships be a better way of expanding a farm business given projected climate change and price volatility? This question is addressed using farm business ﬁnancial modelling. Repre-sentative farms at 27 locations in Western Australia are constructed to enable comparison of the value of buying out a neighbour versus expansion using geograph-ically distant joint venture (JV) partners. The farm models consider economies of size, bulk purchase price discounts, the variability and correlation of returns associated with farm expansion, and impacts of climate change. Random selection of a remote partner generates little improvement in wealth; on average only 2.3 and 1.6 per cent, respectively, under current and projected future climate across all locations. However, there is large variation in wealth appreciation opportunities for each location and between locations. Preferred partnerships are a function of each farm’s characteristics. Locations highly preferred as JV partners under current climate are similarly preferred partners under projected future climate. The main sources of additional wealth come from economies of size advantages, risk-spreading beneﬁts of combining geographically separated farms and bulk discounts. Farmers seeking business expansion will often beneﬁt greatly from careful selection of a remote partner.

description: The enzyme type 5 17β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase 5 (17β-HSD5) catalyzes the transformation of androstenedione (4-dione) to testosterone (T) in the prostate. This metabolic pathway remains active in cancer patients receiving androgen deprivation therapy. Since physicians seek to develop advantageous and better new treatments to increase the average survival of these patients, we synthesized several different dehydroepiandrosterone derivatives. These compounds have a pyrazole or imidazole function at C-17 and an ester moiety at C-3 and were studied as inhibitors of 17β-HSD5. The kinetic parameters of this enzyme were determined for use in inhibition assays. Their pharmacological effect was also determined on gonadectomized hamsters treated with Δ4-androstenedione (4-dione) or testosterone (T) and/or the novel compounds. The results indicated that the incorporation of a heterocycle at C-17 induced strong 17β-HSD5 inhibition. These derivatives decreased flank organ diameter and prostate weight in castrated hamsters treated with T or 4-dione. Inhibition of 17β-HSD5 by these compounds could have therapeutic potential for the treatment of prostate cancer and benign prostatic hyperplasia.

description: The authors introduce a novel electrostatic precipitator using a wet-porous electrode (WPE) array, for application to various work processes (e.g., molding and extrusion), to improve the removal performance of ultrafine particles and water-soluble gaseous pollutants generated during manufacturing. The WPE array electrostatic precipitator (WPE-ESP) consists of an ionization component for particle charging and a collection component equipped with the WPE array to maintain a high humidity environment. The performance of the WPE-ESP was evaluated in terms of the removal efficiency of airborne particles and water-soluble gases under ESP operating conditions in which the ionization charge current, the applied electric field strength of the collection component, and the relative humidity (RH) were varied. The collection efficiency of the WPE-ESP was enhanced by increasing the RH, due to water adsorption on the particle surface and the enhanced electric field strength near the collecting plate. The maximum total collection efficiency of the ESP system was ˜99.2% for a 73% RH collection environment, which was approximately 3.3% higher than that of conventional dry-type ESP (C-ESP). The proposed system also removed sulfur dioxide (SO2), a representative source (90.7%) of undesirable emissions during manufacturing processes, and mitigated ozone (O3, <10 ppb), a by-product of the corona discharge in the ESP, regardless of the field strength. The proposed WPE-ESP included a simple mounting system; additionally, the system generated a more uniform water film than that of wet-ESPs. Thus, the WPE-ESP shows great potential for application to workplaces and machining devices that require the simultaneous removal of ultrafine particles and water-soluble gaseous pollutants.Copyright 2015 American Association for Aerosol Research

description: New complexes, [Fe(L)Cl], [Ni(L)] and [Zn(L)C2H5OH] (1-3), were synthesized by template reaction of 2-hydroxy-acetophenone-S-methyl-thiosemicarbazone with 2-hydroxy-benzaldehyde. The compounds were characterized by elemental analysis, magnetic measurements, FT-IR, 1H NMR, UV-visible and ESI-MS spectra. In these complexes, the ligand is coordinated to the metal ion as dinegatively charged tetradentate chelating agents via the N2O2 donor set. The iron(III) and zinc(II) complexes exhibit square-pyramidal geometry, whereas the nickel(II) complex has a square-planar geometry. The crystal structure of 1, determined by X-ray diffraction method, indicates that 1 crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P21/c with Z = 4. Thermal decompositions of the compounds have been investigated by using TGA in air.

description: Fucoid macroalgae are important primary producers and habitat modifiers on North Atlantic intertidal rocky shores. With decreasing latitude, western European fucoid populations display reduced levels of abundance, biomass and recruitment, while experiencing higher levels of physical environmental stress during summer months. We hypothesized that such reduction in the south is accompanied by a detectable decline in fucoid reproductive capacity. To test this hypothesis, morphological and reproductive traits of core (Welsh) and marginal (Portuguese) populations of two common fucoid species, Fucus vesiculosus and F. spiralis (Ochrophyta, Fucales), were examined. Morphological measurements showed that for a given thallus length, both fucoid species had smaller thallus volume and lower biomass in the southerly marginal part of the range. Significantly lower biomass of reproductive tissue of F. vesiculosus and a smaller number of receptacles per individual on specimens of both species indicate that levels of reproductive output are probably lower in southern populations. Despite the differences in reproductive traits observed between regions, reproductive effort (measured as the percentage of total dry biomass represented by reproductive tissue) of both species remained similar, as algae from both regions made similar investments in reproduction. The results indicate that stressful conditions reduced growth and number of receptacles of both species and amount of reproductive biomass of F. vesiculosus in the south but do not seem to change the way these algal species invest their energy. The decline in mass and reproductive biomass of specimens from southern shores found in this study, when combined with the lower abundance of adults and lower recruitment levels previously observed, is a strong indication of fucoid populations with lower levels of propagule output. This is an important factor when considering responses of these populations to a changing environment.

description: The control region is the major non-coding segment of animal mitochondrial DNA. To infer the structure and variation of Anseriformes mitochondrial DNA control region, the control region sequences of 52 species were analyzed. The length of the control region sequences ranged from 968 bp (Chenonetta jubata) to 1335 bp (Anseranas semipalmata) and can be separated into three domains. There is a deletion of 100–130 bp in Anatinae, compared to other groups of Anserinae. The average genetic distances among the species within the genera varied from 4.14% (Anser) to 10.58% (Cygnus). The average genetic distances showed insignificantly negative correlation with ts/tv. Domain I is the most variable among the three domains among all the genera. Five conserved sequence boxes in the domain II of Anseriformes sequences were identified. The alignment of the Anseriformes five boxes sequences showed considerable sequence variation. CSB-1, -2 and 3 were not found in the Anseriformes. Maximum-likelihood method was used to construct a phylogenetic tree, which grouped all of the genera into four divergent clades. Anseranas + Chauna and Dendrocygna were identified as early offshoots of the Anatidae. All the remaining taxa fell into two clades that correspond to the two subfamilies Anserinae and Anatiane.

description: Twin groups and virtual twin groups are planar analogues of braid groups and virtual braid groups, respectively. These groups play the role of braid groups in the Alexander-Markov correspondence for the theory of stable isotopy classes of immersed circles on orientable surfaces. Motivated by the general idea of Artin and a recent work of Bellingeri and Paris \cite{BellingeriParis2020}, we obtain a complete description of homomorphisms between virtual twin groups and symmetric groups, which as an application gives us the precise structure of the automorphism group of the virtual twin group $VT_n$ on $n \ge 2$ strands. This is achieved by showing the existence of an irreducible right-angled Coxeter group $KT_n$ inside $VT_n$. As a by-product, it also follows that the twin group $T_n$ embeds inside the virtual twin group $VT_n$, which is an analogue of a similar result for braid groups.
