description: This research analyses, with unpublished documents, the artistic career of Paolo de Matteis, an interesting personality in the Neapolitan painting, active between the 17th and 18th centuries, in order to reconstruct and integrate the knowledge related to his Spanish painting production, until today neglected by previous studies, but in fact it is well developed for his whole career and continued without interruptions. From the review of the sources, even considering new documentary and territorial researches, it has been possible to show the strong relationship between the painter and the viceroys, and to introduce new and important commissions, aiming to show his artistic personality which was part of the cultural context and to increase the number of his works. ..

description: La presente ricerca analizza, con documentazioni fin qui trascurate o del tutto inedite, il percorso artistico di Paolo de Matteis, figura di spicco della pittura napoletana, attivo tra Seicento e Settecento, al fine di ricostruire e integrare le conoscenze relative alla sua produzione pittorica spagnola, fino ad ora rimasta in ombra in quanto trascurata dagli studi pregressi, ma di fatto sviluppatasi nell’arco di tutta la sua carriera, senza sostanziali interruzioni. Dal riesame approfondito delle fonti, a fronte di nuove indagini documentarie e territoriali, è stato possibile approfondire ulteriormente i rapporti fra l’artista e i viceré, nonché di definire nuovi e importanti incarichi di committenza, facendo emergere la sua personalità artistica, ben inserita nel contesto culturale del tempo e ampliare il numero delle sue opere note. ..

description: We present the observations of compound flux rope formation via merging of two nearby filament channels, associated dynamics and its stability that occurred on 2014 January 1 using multiwavelength data. We have also discussed the dynamics of cool and hot plasma moving along the newly formed compound flux rope. The merging started after the interaction between the southern leg of northward filament and the northern leg of the southward filament at around 01:21 UT and continue until a compound flux rope formed at around 01:33 UT. During the merging the cool filaments plasma heated up and started to move along the both side of the compound flux rope i.e., toward north (approx 265 km/s) and south (approx 118 km/s) from the point of merging. After travelling a distance of approx 150 Mm towards north the plasma become cool and started to returns back towards south ( approx 14 km/s) after 02:00 UT. The observations provide an clear example of compound flux rope formation via merging of two different flux ropes and occurrence of flare through tether cutting reconnection. However, the compound flux rope remained stable in the corona and made an confined eruption. The coronal magnetic field decay index measurements revealed that both the filaments and the compound flux rope axis lies within the stability domain (decay index less than 1.5), which may be the possible cause for their stability. The present study also deals with the relationship between the filaments chirality (sinistral) and the helicity (positive) of the surrounding flux rope.

description: A 2D nonlinear model for the electrical potential in the edge plasma in a tokamak generates a stiff problem due to the low resistivity in the direction parallel to the magnetic field lines. An asymptotic-preserving method based on a micro-macro decomposition is studied in order to have a well-posed problem, even when the parallel resistivity goes to $0$. Numerical tests with a finite difference scheme show a bounded condition number for the linearised discrete problem solved at each time step, which confirms the theoretical analysis on the continuous problem.

Enhancing Microwave Sensor Performance with Ultra-High Q Features Using CycleGAN
Creators: Nazli Kazemi
Petr Musilek
Publisher: name: University of Alberta Library
Year: 2022

In this work, a microwave planar sensor is used for liquid material characterization. Two identical complementary split-ring resonators operating at 3 GHz are coupled to create a highly sensitive capacitive region. The moderate quality factor of the sensor ~230 is significantly improved up to ~5040 with loss compensation using a regenerative amplifier. The moderate quality factor restrains the passive mode sensor from distinguishing low concentrations of 1%-4% water in ethanol, while considerably distinct profiles are achievable using the active-mode sensor. The measured passive mode sensor response is then processed using CycleGAN, a machine learning algorithm conventionally used for image-to-image translation. This strongly enhances the quality factor of the responses, effectively translating them to the active domain. This improvement reduces the limit of water detection down to 1% for water-in-ethanol mixture. In addition, the sensor is used for noninvasive monitoring of glucose levels, in both passive and active modes. The resolution of the CycleGAN-boosted response approaches that of the active sensor (~20 mg/dL), showing a considerable enhancement when compared to the resolution of the passive sensor (~70 mg/dL).

description: The Parent Proxy Asthma Control Test (PP-ACT) is a self-report measure of asthma control completed by caregivers on behalf of a child. We examined the psychometric properties and the reliability and predictive validity of the PP-ACT. We conducted two studies (one cross-sectional, one longitudinal over three months) that surveyed caregivers (N = 1622) of children with asthma. Caregivers completed the PP-ACT and a variety of other measures, including child health outcomes. We found clear evidence that the five-item PP-ACT assesses two distinct constructs: Items 1–4 (which we call the PP-ACT4) assess symptoms, impairment, and use of a short acting beta-2 blocker (albuterol); Item 5 assesses caregivers’ global subjective assessment of their child’s asthma control. In addition, the two constructs function as unique predictors of asthma outcomes. Both the PP-ACT4 and Item 5 predicted unique variance in ED visits, the number of symptom-free days, and child quality of life. Only the PP-ACT4 predicted frequency of ICS use and only at Time 1 in Study 1. Conversely, Item 5 predicted exacerbation frequency whereas the PP-ACT4 did not. Our findings suggest that researchers and clinicians should treat the PP-ACT4 and Item 5 as distinct indicators of asthma control because they differentially predict asthma outcomes and likely have distinct meanings to caregivers.

description: We present alpha to iron abundance ratios for 226 individual red giant branch stars in nine dwarf galaxies of the Andromeda (M 31) satellite system. The abundances are measured from the combined signal of Mg, Si, Ca, and Ti lines in Keck/DEIMOS medium-resolution spectra. This constitutes the first large sample of alpha abundance ratios measured in the M 31 satellite system. The dwarf galaxies in our sample exhibit a variety of alpha abundance ratios, with the average values in each galaxy ranging from approximately solar ([alpha/Fe] ~ +0.0) to alpha-enhanced ([alpha/Fe] ~ +0.5). These variations do not show a correlation with internal kinematics, environment, or stellar density. We confirm radial gradients in the iron abundance of two galaxies out of the five with sufficient data (NGC 185 and And II). There is only tentative evidence for an alpha abundance radial gradient in NGC 185. We homogeneously compare our results to the Milky Way classical dwarf spheroidals, finding evidence for wider variation in average alpha abundance. In the absence of chemical abundances for the M 31 stellar halo, we compare to the Milky Way stellar halo. A stellar halo comprised of disrupted M31 satellites is too metal-rich and inconsistent with the Milky Way halo alpha abundance distribution even if considering only satellites with predominantly old stellar populations. The M 31 satellite population provides a second system in which to study chemical abundances of dwarf galaxies and reveals a wider variety of abundance patterns than the Milky Way.

description: Aflatoxin contamination in commonly consumed cereals and nuts may place children at higher risk of stunting and adults at risk of developing liver cancer. This study investigated knowledge on aflatoxins and the level of aflatoxin B1 contamination in commonly consumed cereals and nuts in Malawi. It also included an examination of the proportion of cereals and nuts contaminated above regulatory maximum limits. Aflatoxin contamination in samples was assessed using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) method. Less than half of all households knew that consumption of aflatoxin contaminated grain is associated with stunting and lowered immunity. Sorghum samples were the most contaminated and millet the least contaminated. Aflatoxin contamination was highest in southern Malawi and least in northern Malawi. Observed results indicate that this population is at risk of poor health due to lack of knowledge and aflatoxin exposure. Strategies to address contamination should therefore include a comprehensive education campaign to increase knowledge and promote accessible strategies.

description: A total of 120 spices and herbs bought on the Belgian market have been analysed for occurrence of the four EU regulated polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (ΣPAH4). Samples were sorted in three groups according to their use: traditional spices, exotic spices, and herbs. Benzo[a]pyrene has been detected in 56% of samples, while ΣPAH4 were found in 96% of samples. ΣPAH4 were evenly distributed among the three groups with a median content of 7.2 for traditional spices, 5.5 for exotic spices and 6.0 µg kg−1 for herbs. According to the EU legislation, three samples were exceeding maximal limits, with a maximum ΣPAH4 content of 164 µg kg−1. The ΣPAH4 dietary intake has been estimated at 1.4 and 27.8 ng day−1 for average and high consumption, respectively. The risk for the consumer was evaluated by using the margin of exposure (MOE). In all cases, MOE were >20 000, indicating a low concern for the population.

description: Transiting planets around rapidly rotating stars are not amenable to precise radial velocity observations, such as are used for planet candidate validation, as they have wide, rotationally broadened stellar lines. Such planets can, however, be observed using Doppler tomography, wherein the stellar absorption line profile distortions during transit are spectroscopically resolved. This allows the validation of transiting planet candidates and the measurement of the stellar spin-planetary orbit (mis)alignment, an important statistical probe of planetary migration processes. We present Doppler tomographic observations which provide a direct confirmation of the hot Jupiter Kepler-13 Ab, and also show that the planet has a prograde, misaligned orbit, with lambda = 58.6 +/- 2.0 degrees. Our measured value of the spin-orbit misalignment is in significant disagreement with the value of lambda = 23 +/- 4 degrees previously measured by Barnes et al. (2011) from the gravity-darkened Kepler lightcurve. We also place an upper limit of 0.75 solar masses (95% confidence) on the mass of Kepler-13 C, the spectroscopic companion to Kepler-13 B, the proper motion companion of the planet host star Kepler-13 A.

description: In order to understand the role of regular controller inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) versus as-needed ICS-formoterol in managing mild asthma, we performed a modified Delphi procedure. Opinions from 16 respiratory experts to three surveys and during a virtual scientific workshop helped to develop final consensus statements (pre-defined as 70% agreement). Thirteen participants completed all rounds (response rate 81%). At the end of the procedure, there was final consensus on: regular daily ICS being the recommended treatment approach in mild persistent asthma, with better symptom control and robust long-term clinical data compared with as-needed ICS-formoterol (85%); to avoid noncompliance, frequently seen in mild asthma patients, regular ICS dosing should be accompanied by ongoing education on treatment adherence (100%); treatment aims should be targeting asthma control (92%) and reduction of exacerbation risk (85%). No consensus was reached on whether GINA or national guidelines most influence prescribing decisions. It is important to encourage patients to be adherent and to target both asthma control and exacerbation risk reduction. There is robust clinical evidence to support proactive regular dosing with ICS controller therapy plus as-needed short-acting beta-agonists for the management of patients with mild asthma.

description: The ac Stark shift of hyperfine levels of neutral atoms can be calculated using the third order perturbation theory(TOPT), where the third order corrections are quadratic in the atom-photon interaction and linear in the hyperfine interaction. In this paper, we use Green's function to derive the $E^{[2+ε]}$ method which can give close values to those of TOPT for the differential light shift between two hyperfine levels. It comes with a simple form and easy incorporation of theoretical and experimental atomic structure data. Furthermore, we analyze the order of approximation and give the condition under which $E^{[2+ε]}$ method is valid.

description: Asthma is a heterogeneous and genetically complex respiratory disease, and more than 300 million people are affected worldwide. In this study, frequencies of four SNPs (rs3816470, rs7216389, rs8067378, rs12603332) in chromosome 17q21 region were analyzed and their relationship with the asthma susceptibility, in the Pashtun population of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province (KPK) of Pakistan were investigated. DNA samples from 500 subjects (asthma cases/controls) were genotyped by Sanger sequencing. Chi-square tests, logistic regression analysis, linkage disequilibrium, and haplotype analysis techniques were applied to study the association of the SNPs with asthma. Genetic models, including recessive, dominant, co-dominant, over-dominant, and additive, were tested. The frequencies of alleles T/T at rs3816470 (OR = 1.91; 95%CI = 1.15–3.18; p = .011*) and rs7216389 (OR = 2.14; 95%CI = 1.21–3.79; p = .0076*), A/A at rs 8067378 (OR = 1.89; 95%CI = 1.17–3.06; p = .0081*), C/C at rs12603332 (OR = 1.97; 95%CI = 1.18–3.27; p = .008*), under recessive models, respectively, were significantly (p-values < .0125) associated with asthma susceptibility. The frequencies of T/T genotype in rs3816470 (OR = 6.01; 95%CI = 2.48–14.60; p = .000147*), and rs7216389 (OR = 5.05; 95%CI = 1.79–14.21; p = .003296*), and C/C at rs12603332 (OR = 2.64; 95%CI = 1.11–6.32; p = .019063*), were significantly (p-values < .0125) associated with asthma susceptibility in Pashtun women by stratified analysis based on age and gender. Similarly, three unique haplotypes were found associated with disease development and protective effect in female and male subjects. Linkage disequilibrium analysis presented a strong linkage (≥80%) between SNP variants and predicted their co-inheritance in the studied population. The 17q21 variants (rs3816470, rs7216389, rs12603332) were found significantly (p-values < .0125) associated with asthma predisposition in the Pashtun population of KPK exclusively in the female asthmatic cases.

description: Continuation refers to the operation by which the cumulative distribution function of a discontinuous random vector is made continuous through multilinear interpolation. The copula that results from the application of this technique to the classical empirical copula is either called the multilinear or the checkerboard copula. As shown by Genest and Nešlehová (Astin Bull. 37 (2007) 475-515) and Nešlehová (J. Multivariate Anal. 98 (2007) 544-567), this copula plays a central role in characterizing dependence concepts in discrete random vectors. In this paper, the authors establish the asymptotic behavior of the empirical process associated with the multilinear copula based on $d$-variate count data. This empirical process does not generally converge in law on the space $\mathcal {C}([0,1]^d)$ of continuous functions on $[0,1]^d$, equipped with the uniform norm. However, the authors show that the process converges in $\mathcal{C}(K)$ for any compact $K\subset\mathcal{O}$, where $\mathcal{O}$ is a dense open subset of $[0,1]^d$, whose complement is the Cartesian product of the ranges of the marginal distribution functions. This result is sufficient to deduce the weak limit of many functionals of the process, including classical statistics for monotone trend. It also leads to a powerful and consistent test of independence which is applicable even to sparse contingency tables whose dimension is sample size dependent.

description: Objective: Low socioeconomic status based both on educational level and income has been associated with asthma and respiratory symptoms, but changes over time in these associations have rarely been studied. The aim was to study the associations between educational or income inequality and asthma and respiratory symptoms among women and men over a 20-year period in northern Sweden. Methods: The study was performed within the Obstructive Lung disease in Northern Sweden (OLIN) research program. Mailed questionnaire surveys were administered to a random sample of adults (20-69 years of age) living in Sweden, in 1996, 2006 and 2016. Data on educational level and income were collected from the national integrated database for labor market research. Results: The educational inequality associated with asthma and asthmatic wheeze tended to decrease from 1996 to 2016, while it increased for productive cough, the latter among men not among women. The income inequality decreased for productive cough, especially for women, while no clear overall trends were found for asthmatic wheeze and asthma, apart from a decrease in income inequality regarding asthma among men. Conclusion: The patterns for socioeconomic inequality differed for asthma and wheeze compared to productive cough, and the results emphasize that education and income do not mirror the same aspects of socioeconomic inequality in a high-income country. Our findings are important for decision makers, not the least on a political level, as reduced inequality, e.g. through education, could lead to reduced morbidity.

description: The Parent Proxy Asthma Control Test (PP-ACT) is a self-report measure of asthma control completed by caregivers on behalf of a child. We examined the psychometric properties and the reliability and predictive validity of the PP-ACT. We conducted two studies (one cross-sectional, one longitudinal over three months) that surveyed caregivers (N = 1622) of children with asthma. Caregivers completed the PP-ACT and a variety of other measures, including child health outcomes. We found clear evidence that the five-item PP-ACT assesses two distinct constructs: Items 1–4 (which we call the PP-ACT4) assess symptoms, impairment, and use of a short acting beta-2 blocker (albuterol); Item 5 assesses caregivers’ global subjective assessment of their child’s asthma control. In addition, the two constructs function as unique predictors of asthma outcomes. Both the PP-ACT4 and Item 5 predicted unique variance in ED visits, the number of symptom-free days, and child quality of life. Only the PP-ACT4 predicted frequency of ICS use and only at Time 1 in Study 1. Conversely, Item 5 predicted exacerbation frequency whereas the PP-ACT4 did not. Our findings suggest that researchers and clinicians should treat the PP-ACT4 and Item 5 as distinct indicators of asthma control because they differentially predict asthma outcomes and likely have distinct meanings to caregivers.
