description: We present a novel method to determine the resonant frequency and quality factor of microwave resonators which is faster, more stable, and conceptually simpler than the yet existing techniques. The microwave resonator is irradiated at a frequency away from its resonance. It then emits an exponentially decaying radiation at its eigen-frequency when the excitation is rapidly switched off. The emission is down-converted with a microwave mixer, digitized and its Fourier transformation (FT) directly yields the resonance curve in a single shot. Being an FT based method, this technique possesses the Fellgett (multiplex) and Connes (accuracy) advantages and it conceptually mimics that of pulsed nuclear magnetic resonance. We also establish a novel benchmark to compare accuracy of the different approaches of microwave resonator measurements. This shows that the present method have similar accuracy to the existing ones.

description: With the increasingly popular blockchain technology and its areas of application, illicit activities have repeatedly shown to be a problem in recent years. The lack of regula- tion, combined with the fact that pseudo-anonymity is intrinsically provided by most blockchains and their applications, makes them popular platforms to launder money coming from illegal activities like scams, exploits and hacks. The relative novelty of decentralized transaction systems and their far-reaching possibilities additionally add to this phenomenon. Decentralised protocols in the form of Smart Contracts (SCs) - computer programs that run on the blockchain - are one of the many innovative building blocks of new financial systems. This new paradigm of decentralisation, better known as Decentralized Finance (DeFi), has become one of the fastest-growing segments in the crypto industry in recent years. A variety of DeFi platforms that enable investing, lending and managing assets have emerged on different blockchains. Ethereum is one of these blockchains. It provides a robust infrastructure for SCs, has a big user base and is home to a variety of protocols. The fact that DeFi protocols also enable financial transactions without identification requirements makes them attractive for the transfer of illicit funds originating from fraudulent activities. The aim of this work is to provide a better insight into how fraudulent transaction activities on the Ethereum blockchain are related to DeFi protocols, through quantitative methods. In a web search, we collect a dataset of Ethereum addresses related to fraudulent activities. The found addresses and a dataset of DeFi protocols are used to enrich transaction data of the Ethereum network. We examine the resulting network in a graph database and highlight transaction flows and their relation to DeFi protocols. In a transaction analysis we compare different fraudulent activities and their connection to DeFi protocols.w Our analysis shows that Decentralized Exchanges (DEXs) are common receivers of fraudulent funds. Uniswap (an open-source protocol for providing liquidity and trading Ethereum Request for Comments (ERC-20) tokens is particularly affected. In a more detailed analysis, we therefore also show how tokens are exchanged within the Uniswap protocol, and which ERC-20 tokens are preferentially used by fraudulent addresses. By examining message traces, we gain insight into how fraudulent addresses take advantage of decentralised protocols and how transactions within the protocol take place.

description: There are numerous studies on the difficulties that the Internal Audit Unit (IAU) and Municipal Audit Committee (MAC) face in Ghana; however, there is less information on how these entities work together to improve the performance of municipal assemblies in Ghana. On this premise, this study investigates if there exists a collaborative role using simple eta-squared to estimate the effect size between the internal audit unit and the audit committee on the performance of the New Juaben South Municipal Assembly (NJSMA), Ghana. The research design for this study is both exploratory and descriptive in nature, with a target population of 323 workers, out of which a sample of 215 was drawn for the survey. The survey found that there is, in fact, a significant and substantial level of cooperative effectiveness between the internal audit unit and the municipal audit committee at NJSMA of Ghana. This cooperative effectiveness between the two variables, which are the work of the municipal committee and the work of the internal audit unit, improves performance at the municipal assembly.

description: In this note we obtain numerous new bases for the algebra of symmetric functions whose generators are chromatic symmetric functions. More precisely, if $\{ G_ k \}_{k\geq 1}$ is a set of connected graphs such that $G_k$ has $k$ vertices for each $k$, then the set of all chromatic symmetric functions $\{ X_{G_ k} \}_{k\geq 1}$ generates the algebra of symmetric functions. We also obtain explicit expressions for the generators arising from complete graphs, star graphs, path graphs and cycle graphs.

description: Polymeric nanocomposite@Pd is one of the crown jewels for the catalysis of cross-coupling reactions. This Pd nanocomposite on various polymeric supports has been well established to catalyze cross-coupling reactions, but its preparation supported on the surface of nanofibers has been largely overlooked. Herein, we report the preparation of a poly(acrylic acid) (PAA)/poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) nanofiber-supported N-heterocyclic carbene–Pd complex. The first step involves the preparation of PAA/PVA nanofibers using the electrospinning process. The second step comprises the reaction of water-soluble poly(ethylene glycol)-imidazole with modified PAA/PVA nanofibers followed by introduction of PdCl2 to achieve successfully the desired nanocomposite. The catalytic activity of this nanocomposite was examined in the expeditious synthesis of biaryl compounds using the Suzuki–Miyaura cross-coupling reaction under mild reaction conditions. The composite offers multiple features such as good hydrophilic properties, high surface area, admirable potential in repeatability tests and being recyclable for several runs without significant loss in its activity under the optimum reaction conditions. Our results showed the superior applicability of this novel nanocatalyst in terms of conversion reaction, yields and turnover frequencies. The structure of the catalyst was characterized using a variety of techniques.

description: OBJECTIVES: Identifying factors associated with risk for eating disorders is important for clarifying etiology and for enhancing early detection of eating disorders in primary care. We hypothesized that autoimmune and autoinflammatory diseases would be associated with eating disorders in children and adolescents and that family history of these illnesses would be associated with eating disorders in probands. METHODS: In this large, nationwide, population-based cohort study of all children and adolescents born in Denmark between 1989 and 2006 and managed until 2012, Danish medical registers captured all inpatient and outpatient diagnoses of eating disorders and autoimmune and autoinflammatory diseases. The study population included 930 977 individuals (48.7% girls). Cox proportional hazards regression models and logistic regression were applied to evaluate associations. RESULTS: We found significantly higher hazards of eating disorders for children and adolescents with autoimmune or autoinflammatory diseases: 36% higher hazard for anorexia nervosa, 73% for bulimia nervosa, and 72% for an eating disorder not otherwise specified. The association was particularly strong in boys. Parental autoimmune or autoinflammatory disease history was associated with significantly increased odds for anorexia nervosa (odds ratio [OR] = 1.13, confidence interval [CI] = 1.01-1.25), bulimia nervosa (OR = 1.29; CI = 1.08-1.55) and for an eating disorder not otherwise specified (OR = 1.27; CI = 1.13-1.44). CONCLUSIONS: Autoimmune and autoinflammatory diseases are associated with increased risk for eating disorders. Ultimately, understanding the role of immune system disturbance for the etiology and pathogenesis of eating disorders could point toward novel treatment targets.

description: The study aimed to estimate sex differences in body mass index (BMI), motor competence (MC), health-related physical fitness (HRPF), perceived motor competence (PMC), and physical activity (PA) and to identify individual predictors associated with overweight in Brazilian children. A cross-sectional study was conducted, sampling 217 Brazilian children aged between 6-10 years old. PA was measured through pedometers. MC and PMC were estimated, respectively, by the Test of Gross Motor Development (second edition) battery and the Pictographic Scale of Perceived Competence Assessment in Motor Skills, while the HRPF was estimated through abdominal, upper limb and lower strength, flexibility, and cardiorespiratory fitness tests. Height and weight were measured, and BMI was computed. Statistical analyses involved the use of the Mann Whitney U test and multiple logistic regression. Sex differences were observed for HRPF score, mean of weekend steps and total steps/week, favouring boys (p< 0.05). Multiple logistic regression analysis revealed that MC (OR= 0.97; 95%CI 0.92–0.98) and HRPF (OR= 0.78; 95%CI 0.66–0.93) were significantly associated with overweight, while any significant association were observed for PA and PMC. Results highlight that increases in MC and HRPF reduced the chances of children being overweight.

description: We characterize the condition for two finite index endomorphisms on an AFD factor to be approximately unitarily equivalent. The characterization is given by using the canonical extension of endomorphisms, which is introduced by Izumi. Our result is a generalization of the characterization of approximate innerness of endomorphisms of the AFD factors, obtained by Kawahiashi--Sutherland--Takesaki and Masuda--Tomatsu. Our proof, which does not depend on the types of factors, is based on recent development on the Rohlin property of flows on von Neumann algebras.

Complex additive geometric multilevel solvers for Helmholtz equations on spacetrees
Creators: name: Reps, Bram

Year: 2015
Subjects: subject: Mathematical Software (cs.MS)
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: We introduce a family of implementations of low order, additive, geometric multilevel solvers for systems of Helmholtz equations. Both grid spacing and arithmetics may comprise complex numbers and we thus can apply complex scaling techniques to the indefinite Helmholtz operator. Our implementations are based upon the notion of a spacetree and work exclusively with a finite number of precomputed local element matrices. They are globally matrix-free. Combining various relaxation factors with two grid transfer operators allows us to switch from pure additive multigrid over a hierarchical basis method into BPX with several multiscale smoothing variants within one code base. Pipelining allows us to realise a full approximation storage (FAS) scheme within the additive environment where, amortised, each grid vertex carrying degrees of freedom is read/written only once per iteration. The codes thus realise a single-touch policy. Among the features facilitated by matrix-free FAS is arbitrary dynamic mesh refinement (AMR) for all solver variants. AMR as enabler for full multigrid (FMG) cycling---the grid unfolds throughout the computation---allows us to reduce the cost per unknown per order of accuracy. The present paper primary contributes towards software realisation and design questions. Our experiments show that the consolidation of single-touch FAS, dynamic AMR and vectorisation-friendly, complex scaled, matrix-free FMG cycles delivers a mature implementation blueprint for solvers for a non-trivial class of problems such as Helmholtz equations. Besides this validation, we put particular emphasis on a strict implementation formalism as well as some implementation correctness proofs.

description: We formulate the spin foam representation of discrete SU(2) gauge theory as a product of vertex amplitudes each of which is the spin network generating function of the boundary graph dual to the vertex. In doing so the sums over spins have been carried out. The boundary data of each n-valent node is explicitly reduced with respect to the local gauge invariance and has a manifest geometrical interpretation as a framed polyhedron of fixed total area. Ultimately, sums over spins are traded for contour integrals over simple poles and recoupling theory is avoided using generating functions.

description: The article focuses on methods for designing modular cable-driven orientation mechanisms that can be attached to robot systems that lack on rotational degrees of freedom. The approach yields assembly systems for high speed handling applications by reducing moving masses. For this purpose, a classification of feasible kinematic structures are given and resulting characteristics, like the orientation workspace, dexterity or its homogeneity, are analyzed. The mechanical design of a first prototype is subsequently presented along with a universal simulation tool for determining task-adapted powertrains using cables. Finally, results of first tests and possibilities for future developments are presented. © 2016 The Authors.

description: We present spectra of the nuclear regions of 50 nearby (D = 1 - 92 Mpc, median = 20 Mpc) galaxies of morphological types E to Sm. The spectra, obtained with the Gemini Near-IR Spectrograph on the Gemini North telescope, cover a wavelength range of approximately 0.85-2.5 microns at R~1300--1800. There is evidence that most of the galaxies host an active galactic nucleus (AGN), but the range of AGN luminosities (log (L2-10 keV [erg/s]) = 37.0-43.2) in the sample means that the spectra display a wide variety of features. Some nuclei, especially the Seyferts, exhibit a rich emission-line spectrum. Other objects, in particular the type 2 Low Ionisation Nuclear Emission Region galaxies, show just a few, weak emission lines, allowing a detailed view of the underlying stellar population. These spectra display numerous absorption features sensitive to the stellar initial mass function, as well as molecular bands arising in cool stars, and many other atomic absorption lines. We compare the spectra of subsets of galaxies known to be characterised by intermediate-age and old stellar populations, and find clear differences in their absorption lines and continuum shapes. We also examine the effect of atmospheric water vapor on the signal-to-noise ratio achieved in regions between the conventional NIR atmospheric windows, of potential interest to those planning observations of redshifted emission lines or other features affected by telluric H2O. Further exploitation of this data set is in progress, and the reduced spectra and data reduction tools are made available to the community.

description: Background Prior research demonstrated that attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is associated with binge-eating behavior, binge-eating disorder (BED), and bulimia nervosa (BN). The aim of this study was to investigate these associations in an adult twin population, and to determine the extent to which ADHD symptoms and binge-eating behavior share genetic and environmental factors. Methods We used self-reports of current ADHD symptoms and lifetime binge-eating behavior and associated characteristics from a sample of over 18 000 adult twins aged 20-46 years, from the population-based Swedish Twin Registry. Mixed-effects logistic regression was used to examine the association between ADHD and lifetime binge-eating behavior, BED, and BN. Structural equation modeling was used in 13 773 female twins to determine the relative contribution of genetic and environmental factors to the association between ADHD symptoms and binge-eating behavior in female adult twins. Results ADHD symptoms were significantly associated with lifetime binge-eating behavior, BED, and BN. The heritability estimate for current ADHD symptoms was 0.42 [95% confidence interval (CI) 0.41-0.44], and for lifetime binge-eating behavior 0.65 (95% CI 0.54-0.74). The genetic correlation was estimated as 0.35 (95% CI 0.25-0.46) and the covariance between ADHD and binge-eating behavior was primarily explained by genetic factors (91%). Non-shared environmental factors explained the remaining part of the covariance. Conclusions The association between adult ADHD symptoms and binge-eating behavior in females is largely explained by shared genetic risk factors.

 References: Witkowski et al. 2000, p. 134, pl. 169, figs 5–7; Sato et al. 2013, p. 229, Figs 5–12.
 Features: Length 70–95 μm, width 12–16 μm, striae 6–7 in 10 μm on the dorsal side.
 Description: Valves linear lunate with ventrally bent rostrate apices. Dorsal margin weakly arched, ventral margin slightly curved. Raphe weakly arcuate, more close to ventral margin, proximal endings bent towards dorsal side. Central area absent.
 Remarks: This species looks similar to the illustration of A. commutata presented in Witkowski et al. (2000), but slightly different in striae density (9–13 versus 6–7 in 10 μm for this species). In the observed specimens striae run deeper from the dorsal towards ventral margins. The same species was reported by Al-Kandari et al. (2009, pl. 66, fig. A) as Amphora sp.2 from Kuwait coastal water.
 Ecology and Distribution: Amphora commutata is a brackish water species. Common in Basra corals.

description: Background Media exposure affects health, including obesity risk. Children's movies often contain food placements—frequently unhealthy foods. However, it is not known if these cues influence children's food choices or consumption after viewing. We explored whether children's snack choices or consumption differs based on: 1) recent exposure to movies with high versus low product placement of unhealthy foods; and 2) children's weight status. Methods Children ages 9–11 were assigned to watch a high (“Alvin and the Chipmunks,” n = 54) or low (“Stuart Little,” n = 60) product-placement movie. After viewing, participants selected a snack choice from each of five categories, several of which were specifically featured in “Alvin.” Uneaten snacks from each participant were weighed upon completion. Snack choice and amount consumed by movie were compared by t-tests, and differences in snack choices by movie were tested with logistic regression. Results Participants consumed an average of 800.8 kcal; mean kcal eaten did not vary by movie watched. Participants who watched the high product-placement movie had 3.1 times the odds (95% CI 1.3–7.2) of choosing cheese balls (most featured snack) compared to participants who watched the low product-placement movie. Children who were overweight or obese consumed a mean of 857 kcal (95% CI: 789–925) compared to 783 kcal (95% CI: 742–823, p = 0.09) for children who were underweight or healthy weight. Children's weight status did not significantly affect their choice of snack. Conclusions Branding and obesogenic messaging in children's movies influenced some choices that children made about snack foods immediately following viewing, especially food with greatest exposure time in the film, but did not affect total calories consumed. Future studies should examine how the accumulation of these messages affects children's long-term food choices.

description: Reactive multilayer systems (RMS) represent an innovative heat source for the establishment of solder joints. They offer fast bonding processes that introduce very little thermal input and internal stress on the bonded parts. The current application process of RMS is predominantly manual labor. There are a couple of challenges to be overcome to automate this process, a requirement for its introduction into industrial production. In this paper we evaluate the requirements for an automated joining process with RMS and devise a concept of a modular assembly system for different product structures. Furthermore we show our results in gently and reliably gripping and handling of RMS.

description: In this paper, we analyze the complexity of topological conjugacy of pointed Cantor minimal systems from the point of view of descriptive set theory. We prove that the topological conjugacy relation on pointed Cantor minimal systems is Borel bireducible with the Borel equivalence relation $Δ_{\mathbb{R}}^+$ on $\mathbb{R}^{\mathbb{N}}$ defined by $x Δ_{\mathbb{R}}^+ y \Leftrightarrow \{x_i:i \in \mathbb{N}\}=\{y_i:i \in \mathbb{N}\}$. Moreover, we show that $Δ_{\mathbb{R}}^+$ is a lower bound for the Borel complexity of topological conjugacy of Cantor minimal systems. Finally, we interpret our results in terms of properly ordered Bratteli diagrams and discuss some applications.

description: We analysed the effect of different volumes of a soccer simulation protocol (SSP) on skin temperature (Tsk), muscle damage, and inflammation to investigate whether thermography can detect residual fatigue. We conducted this single-case study with a 17-year-old soccer player in a military boarding school. The participant performed an SSP twice with different duration (45 min and 90 min). At 24 h pre, 24 h post, and 48 h post each condition, thermograms were taken to measure Tsk overlying quadriceps, hip adductors, hamstrings, and gastrocnemius. Also, blood samples were obtained to quantify both creatine kinase (CK) and C-Reactive Protein (CRP) concentrations. Following the 90-min SSP, Tsk increased during the recovery period in all analysed regions; CK peaked after 24 h (336 U·L-1) with values 273.3% higher than baseline (90 U·L-1), remaining elevated 48 h post-match (185.6%) (257 U·L-1); CRP increased 182.5% after 24 h (1.13 mg·L-1) when compared to baseline (0.40 mg·L-1) and peaked at 48 h post (432.5%) (2.13 mg·L-1). However, following the 45-min SSP, there was no increase in Tsk, CRP, and the CK values did not indicate muscle damage. Thermography is capable of detecting soccer-induced residual fatigue in a young military player. Monitoring Tsk changes via thermography can be a promising non-invasive approach to monitoring muscle recovery status.

description: Objective: Previous studies evaluating the association between early childhood adversities and eating disorders have yielded conflicting results. The aim of this study is to examine the association between a range of adversities and risk of anorexia nervosa (AN), bulimia nervosa (BN), and eating disorder not otherwise specified (EDNOS) in 495,244 women. Method: In this nationwide, register-based cohort study, nine types of early childhood adversity (family disruption, residential instability, placement in out-of-home care, familial death, parental somatic illness, parental psychiatric illness, parental disability, severe parental criminality, and parental substance use disorder) were defined and exposure during the first 6 years of life was determined. Hazard ratios for eating disorders were calculated using Cox regression. Results: Few adversities were significantly associated with AN, and for each, the presence of the adversity was associated with lower risk for AN. BN, and EDNOS were positively associated with several types of adversities. AN rates were unchanged or reduced by up to 54% by adversities, whereas rates of BN and EDNOS were unchanged or increased by adversities by up to 49 and 89%, respectively. Discussion: Our findings indicate that childhood adversities appear to be associated with an increased risk of BN and in particular EDNOS, whereas they seem to be either unassociated or associated with a decreased risk of AN.

description: Nowadays large-scale production systems for lightweight car-bodies made of composite materials become increasingly important. Especially, theuse of thermoplastic matrix materials makes these composites worthwhile for large quantities. However, these so-called organo-sheets must beheated above melting temperature before manufacturing. In this state, the composite becomes form unstable, which complicates the handling inan automated process. To simplify the handling, this paper presents an approach, which allows the handling, heating and preforming of organo-sheets. This includes the introduction of a robot-tool, which is composed of heatable vortex-grippers and a folding mechanism, as well as aanalysis of its automation potential

description: Resistance training (RT) is a widely practised type of training, and the number of adherents of this type of physical exercise is increasing each year. Among the most sought objectives of those who initiate RT is muscle hypertrophy, although success in this process depends on a well-designed protocol and good manipulation of training variables. The present study aims to analyze, through a systematic review, the impact of the RT variables (such as intensity, volume, recovery interval, execution speed, and concentric muscle failure) relevant to muscle hypertrophy and if there is an ideal range for each training variable. The research was carried out in the PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus and Scielo databases from 2000 to 2020, using the terms "resistance training" and "hypertrophy" and "intensity" or "volume" or "recovery interval" or "execution speed" or "muscular failure". Twenty-three articles were included in the review. The PEDro scale was used to analyze the quality of the selected articles. It was concluded that the variables intensity and volume must be carefully analyzed in a training program. Despite not having a direct impact on hypertrophy, the other variables affect the intensity and volume and must be manipulated according to what is intended with the others.

description: Objective: We examined epidemiological associations between anorexia nervosa (AN) and bulimia nervosa (BN) and risks of committing theft and other crimes in a nationwide female population. Method: Females born in Sweden during 1979–1998 (N = 957,106) were followed from age 15 for up to 20 years using information on clinically diagnosed AN and BN (exposures), convictions of theft and other crimes (outcomes), psychiatric comorbidities, and familial relatedness from Swedish national registers. We estimated hazard ratios (HRs) of criminality in exposed versus unexposed females using Cox proportional hazards regressions and explored how comorbidities and unmeasured familial factors explained the associations. Results: The cumulative incidence of convictions of theft (primarily petty theft) and other crimes was higher in exposed females (AN: 11.60% theft, 7.39% other convictions; BN: 17.97% theft, 13.17% other convictions) than in unexposed females (∼5% theft, ∼6% other convictions). The significantly increased risk of being convicted of theft in exposed females (AN: HR = 2.51, 95% confidence interval = [2.29, 2.74], BN: 4.31 [3.68, 5.05]) was partially explained by comorbidities; unmeasured familial factors partially explained the association with convictions of theft in BN but not in AN. Females with BN had a doubled risk of convictions of other crimes, which was partially explained by comorbidities. Discussion: Individuals with eating disorders had increased risk for convictions of theft and potentially other crimes. Results underscore the importance of regular forensic screening and encourage research on mechanisms underlying the relation between crime and eating disorder psychopathology and efforts to determine how best to address such relation in treatment.

description: We present the first laboratory experimental results concerning the scattering of a low-mode internal tide by a gaussian topography. Experiments performed at the Coriolis Platform in Grenoble used a recently-conceived internal wave generator as a means of producing a high-quality mode-1 wave field. The evolution of the wave field in the absence and presence of a supercritical Gaussian was studied by performing spatiotemporal modal decompositions of velocity field data obtained using Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV). The results support predictions that large-amplitude supercritical topography produces significant reflection of the internal tide and transfer of energy from low to high modes.
