title: Investigating The Causal Relationship Between Iron Status And Malaria In African Children
Creators: name: Muriuki, John Muthii
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2020

description: Iron deficiency (ID) and malaria are co-existing and common causes of ill health in African children. In this thesis, I aimed to determine: 1) a more accurate estimate of the burden of ID in African children by adjusting for the influence of infections on iron biomarkers; 2) whether malaria causes ID; 3) whether iron status influences malaria risk; and 4) whether a mutation in the ferroportin coding gene, FPN Q248H, influences iron status, anaemia and risk of malaria. Among 4,853 children from community-based cohorts across Africa, the overall prevalence of ID was 52% using an inflammation and malaria regression-corrected estimate of ID, compared to a WHO-defined estimate of 34%. This WHO unidentified burden of ID increased with age and was highest in countries with high prevalence of inflammation and malaria, where up to a quarter of iron-deficient children were misclassified as iron replete. Transferrin saturation (TSAT) was least affected by inflammation and malaria and TSAT <11% most closely predicted the regression-corrected ID. In Mendelian randomisation analyses, sickle cell trait, a polymorphism conferring protection against malaria, was associated with a 30% reduction in ID in 7453 malaria-exposed African children but not in 3207 non-malaria exposed African-Americans. Genetically determined malaria risk was associated with a 2.5-fold increase in ID per unit increase in log-incidence rate of malaria. This suggests that an intervention that halves the risk of malaria episodes would reduce ID by 47% in African children. In 2683 Kenyan and Ugandan children, ID defined using either low ferritin or TSAT was associated with 33% and 21% reduction in malaria risk respectively. The FPN Q248H mutation which increases intracellular iron export, was associated with 23% and 25% protection from ID and anaemia, respectively, but there was little evidence of protection from malaria. This work demonstrates the complex relationship between iron and malaria.

description: The Data Documentation Initiative is an important infrastructure, and step as well, toward building a web-oriented data archive. Yet the preparation of a DDI codebook and the development of DDI-related web applications produce new challenges to the data archive formerly based mainly on standalone PCs as the primary medium for data storage and daily operation. In this paper, the DDI experience at the Center of Survey Research at Academia Sinica in Taipei will be studied. The issues to be addressed in this paper include the following: 1) the problems in creating a DDI codebook, 2) the development of related tools used for processing the DDI codebook, 3) the relationship between DDI and relational database, and 4) the development of web applications in relation to DDI. While the Center of Survey Research at Academia Sinica in Taiwan is a young and small-sized data archive by international standards, it is hoped that its experience in the DDI project can shed light on the future development of the DDI and its add-on tools.

description: We identify multi-wavelength counterparts to 1,147 submillimeter sources from the S2COSMOS SCUBA-2 survey of the COSMOS field by employing a recently developed radio$+$machine-learning method trained on a large sample of ALMA-identified submillimeter galaxies (SMGs), including 260 SMGs identified in the AS2COSMOS pilot survey. In total, we identify 1,222 optical/near-infrared(NIR)/radio counterparts to the 897 S2COSMOS submillimeter sources with S$_{850}$>1.6mJy, yielding an overall identification rate of ($78\pm9$)%. We find that ($22\pm5$)% of S2COSMOS sources have multiple identified counterparts. We estimate that roughly 27% of these multiple counterparts within the same SCUBA-2 error circles very likely arise from physically associated galaxies rather than line-of-sight projections by chance. The photometric redshift of our radio$+$machine-learning identified SMGs ranges from z=0.2 to 5.7 and peaks at $z=2.3\pm0.1$. The AGN fraction of our sample is ($19\pm4$)%, which is consistent with that of ALMA SMGs in the literature. Comparing with radio/NIR-detected field galaxy population in the COSMOS field, our radio+machine-learning identified counterparts of SMGs have the highest star-formation rates and stellar masses. These characteristics suggest that our identified counterparts of S2COSMOS sources are a representative sample of SMGs at z<3. We employ our machine-learning technique to the whole COSMOS field and identified 6,877 potential SMGs, most of which are expected to have submillimeter emission fainter than the confusion limit of our S2COSMOS surveys (S$_{850}$<1.5mJy). We study the clustering properties of SMGs based on this statistically large sample, finding that they reside in high-mass dark matter halos ($(1.2\pm0.3)\times10^{13}\,h^{-1}\,\rm M_{\odot}$), which suggests that SMGs may be the progenitors of massive ellipticals we see in the local Universe.

Gravitational Wave Emission from a Bounded Source: the Nonlinear Regime

description: We study the dynamics of a bounded gravitational collapsing configuration emitting gravitational waves, where the exterior spacetime is described by Robinson-Trautman geometries. The full nonlinear regime is examined by using the Galerkin method that allows us to reduce the equations governing the dynamics to a finite-dimensional dynamical system, after a proper truncation procedure. Amongst the obtained results of the nonlinear evolution, one of the most impressive is the fact that the distribution of the mass fraction extracted by gravitational wave emission satisfies the distribution law of nonextensive statistics and this result is independent of the initial configurations considered.

description: The word-frequency distribution provides the fundamental building blocks that generate discourse in language. It is well known, from empirical evidence, that the word-frequency distribution of almost any text is described by Zipf's law, at least approximately. Following Stephens and Bialek [Phys. Rev. E 81, 066119, 2010], we interpret the frequency of any word as arising from the interaction potential between its constituent letters. Indeed, Jaynes' maximum-entropy principle, with the constrains given by every empirical two-letter marginal distribution, leads to a Boltzmann distribution for word probabilities, with an energy-like function given by the sum of all pairwise (two-letter) potentials. The improved iterative-scaling algorithm allows us finding the potentials from the empirical two-letter marginals. Appling this formalism to words with up to six letters from the English subset of the recently created Standardized Project Gutenberg Corpus, we find that the model is able to reproduce Zipf's law, but with some limitations: the general Zipf's power-law regime is obtained, but the probability of individual words shows considerable scattering. In this way, a pure statistical-physics framework is used to describe the probabilities of words. As a by-product, we find that both the empirical two-letter marginal distributions and the interaction-potential distributions follow well-defined statistical laws.

description: We have carried out high angular resolution near-infrared imaging and low-resolution (R~1000) spectroscopy of the nearest known brown dwarf, Eps Indi B, using the ESO VLT NAOS/CONICA adaptive optics system. We find it to be a close binary (as also noted by Volk et al. 2003) with an angular separation of 0.732 arcsec, corresponding to 2.65AU at the 3.626pc distance of the Eps Indi system. In our discovery paper (Scholz et al. 2003), we concluded that Eps Indi B was a ~50Mjup T2.5 dwarf: our revised finding is that the two system components (Eps Indi Ba and Eps Indi Bb) have spectral types of T1 and T6, respectively, and estimated masses of 47 and 28Mjup, respectively, assuming an age of 1.3Gyr. Errors in the masses are +/-10 and +/-7Mjup, respectively, dominated by the uncertainty in the age determination (0.8-2Gyr range). This uniquely well-characterised T dwarf binary system should prove important in the study of low-mass, cool brown dwarfs. The two components are bright and relatively well-resolved: Eps Indi B is the only T dwarf binary in which spectra have been obtained for both components. They have a well-established distance and age. Finally, their orbital motion can be measured on a fairly short timescale (nominal orbital period 15 yrs), permitting an accurate determination of the true total system mass, helping to calibrate brown dwarf evolutionary models.

Elementary Data Quality Elements

Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2004

description: Data quality is obviously a good thing and an attractive goal to pursue. But what is data quality? The paper will give an overview of the literature on data quality and present the intuitive, the empirical and the ontological approaches that lead to a focus on dimensions or elements of data quality. The context of the paper is data for use in the data warehouse. The proposition is that data quality is not a static measure and that although data should not be changed by the users of the data, the users' use of the data can build information for a context or metadata. The proposition is that the improved metadata dynamically can improve the data quality even though data are "frozen."
Inflation Induced Planck-Size Black Hole Remnants As Dark Matter

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2004
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)

description: While there exist various candidates, the identification of dark matter remains unresolved. Recently it was argued that the generalized uncertainty principle (GUP) may prevent a black hole from evaporating completely, and as a result there should exist a Planck-size BHR at the end of its evaporation. We speculate that the stability of BHR may be further protected by supersymmetry in the form of extremal black hole. If this is indeed the case and if a sufficient amount of small black holes can be produced in the early universe, then the resultant BHRs can be an interesting candidate for DM. We demonstrate that this is the case in the hybrid inflation model. By assuming BHR as DM, our notion imposes a constraint on the hybrid inflation potential. We show that such a constraint is not fine-tuned. Possible observational signatures are briefly discussed.

description: In this context, a simple RP-HPLC method is presented for the concurrent determination of Ofloxacin (OFX), Gatifloxacin (GFN), Dexamethasone sodium phosphate (DSP), and Prednisolone acetate (PA). The method has the strengths of being green, rapid, accurate, reproducible and cost-effective. The chromatographic separation utilized sodium phosphate as buffer with pH 3.0 ± 0.1 and acetonitrile 70:30 v/v for 3 min then reversing the ratio for the rest of the run with flow rate 1 mL min−1, Xselect® C18 column and detection at 243 nm for DSP and PA, and 290 nm for OFX and GFN. Another chromatographic method was designed for the assay of the same drugs, namely TLC-Densitometric method. This method has the advance of being eco-friendly, simple and robust. The separation was obtained using mobile phase mixture of butanol/acetic acid/water (60:20:20 v/v/v) and normal phase silica gel plates as the stationary phase with simultaneous detection at 243 nm. The suggested methods can be adopted for the analysis of the four drugs in different binary combinations of eye drops saving money and solvents, and chemicals. They were validated with the guidance of ICH guidelines, with acceptable accuracy, precision, and selectivity.

description: The generation rate of entangled photons emitted from cascaded few-level systems is intrinsically limited by the lifetime of the radiative transitions. Here, we overcome this limit for entangled photon pairs from quantum dots via a novel driving regime based on an active reset of the radiative cascade. We show theoretically and experimentally the driving regime to enable the generation of entangled photon pairs with higher fidelity and intensity compared to the optimum continuously driven equilibrium state. Finally, we electrically generate entangled photon pairs with a total fidelity of $(79.5 \pm 1.1)\%$ at a record clock rate of 1.15GHz.

description: The two dimensional square lattice antiferromagnet with spin-orbit coupling and nonsymmorphic symmetry is recently found to be topological insulator (TI). We theoretically studied the Floquet states of the antiferromagnetic crystal with optical irradiation, which could be applicable in opto-spintronic. An optical irradiation with circular polarization induces topological phase transition into quantum Anomalous Hall (QAH) phase with varying Chern number. At the phase boundaries, the Floquet systems could be semimetal with one, two or three band valleys. A linear polarized optical field induces effective antiferromagnetic exchange field, which change the phase regime of the TI. At the intersection of two phase boundaries, the bulk band structure is nearly flat along one of the high symmetry line in the first Brillouin zone, which result in large density of states near to the Fermi energy in bulk and nanoribbons.

description: The MgB2 - based material high-pressure synthesized at 2 GPa and 800 C for 1 h from Mg and B (taken in the stoichiometry ratio of MgB2) with addition of 2-10 wt% of Ti demonstrated the critical current density (jc) higher than 100 kA/cm^2 at 33 K in 0 T field and at 20 K up to 3 T. At 20 K the critical current density higher than 10 kA/cm^2 was observed up to 5 T field. In the magnetic field up to 2 T high-pressure synthesized MgB2 (with 10 % of Ti) at 20 K behaves in the same manner as Nb3Sn at 4.2 K. In XRD patterns of magnesium diboride with the Ti added, we observed no evidence of titanium diboride or unreacted titanium and only one compound with titanium was identified, namely, titanium dihydride TiH2 (or more strictly TiH1.924). The sample with the highest critical current density and irreversible field in the temperature range of 25-10 K contained some amount of pure Mg that was rather homogeneously dispersed in the material. The critical currents and irreversible fields of magnesium diboride synthesized at high pressure with Ti added are higher than those in the case where Ta has been added.

description: The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA’s) Economic Research Service (ERS), in collaboration with USDA’s Food and Nutrition Service (FNS), invites proposals for a competitive grant to establish and fund a USDA Center for Behavioral Economics and Healthy Food Choice Research. The USDA Center will facilitate new and innovative research on the application of behavioral economics theory to healthy food choice behaviors that would contribute to enhancing the nutrition, food security, and health of American consumers. The USDA Center will complement the work currently being conducted by the USDA-funded Cornell Center for Behavioral Economics in Child Nutrition Programs (Cornell BEN Center). With the exception of work that would be duplicative of the Cornell BEN Center, all food choice behavioral factors that are relevant to USDA policy issues will be within the scope of the USDA Center for Behavioral Economics and Healthy Food Choice Research. There is, however, a requirement that the USDA Center shall devote a substantial portion of its efforts to factors that would facilitate healthy and cost-effective food choices by participants in (a) the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) and (b) the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC). The USDA Center will be expected to (1) establish an innovative research program on behavioral economics and healthy food choice that addresses questions of public policy interest and importance; (2) broaden the network of social scientists who participate in research that applies principles and theories of behavioral economics to the study of healthy food choice behaviors that will lead to improvement of nutrition, food security, and health outcomes; and (3) disseminate information obtained via its research program to a diverse stakeholder audience, including other researchers, policy and program officials, and the general public. We anticipate that up to $1.9 million will be available in fiscal year 2014 to support this activity over the next 3 years. And, subject to availability of funds and the viability of USDA Center expansion, additional funds may be available in subsequent years. This publication describes USDA Center responsibilities and application requirements. The deadline for submission of applications is June 30, 2014.
An Empirical Examination of the Concern for Information Privacy Construct in the New Zealand Context
Creators: name: Rose, Ellen
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2004

description: Moore stated "since societies differ, the desire or need for privacy will vary historically, from one society to another and among different groups in the same society." This study uses confirmatory factor analysis on a random sample of 459 New Zealanders to further examine the structure of the recently developed Concern for Information Privacy (CFIP) construct in a post September 11 environment in a similar western society that has a different regulatory model with respect to protecting the privacy of personal information. Similar findings on CFIP's dimensions and its treatment as a second-order factor strengthen the findings of previous empirical tests of the CFIP instrument developed by Smith, et al. since the sample demographics and the time of data collection differ. In addition, theoretical relationships between CFIP, consumer knowledge of current policy, regulatory preferences, negative experiences with private and government organizations, and different situations under which information might be revealed were examined with the results showing some interesting differences. The New Zealand regulatory model is a middle ground between the strict directives of the European Union and the self-regulatory environment of the United States, making it an interesting context to study in the interest of contributing to balancing the needs of society, individuals and international trade with respect to privacy of personal information.

description: Polyclonal antibodies against abaca bunchy top virus (ABTV) and banana bunchy top virus (BBTV) proteins are necessary for immuno-based detection of these two viruses in abaca (Musa textilis Nee). In this study, recombinant bunchy top viral coat proteins fused with a 6xHis tag at the N-terminus were expressed in E. coli BL21StarTM(DE3)pLysS strain and purified under denaturing conditions. Purified recombinant ABTV and BBTV coat proteins were used as antigens for the production of rabbit polyclonal antibodies. IgG was purified and evaluated by Direct Antigen Coating (DAC)-ELISA and further optimized by testing primary to secondary antibody dilution combinations. Analysis of ABTV and BBTV-infected abaca samples using the optimized DAC-ELISA assay showed that the anti-ABTV CP IgG can react to BBTV and that anti-BBTV CP IgG can react to ABTV, hence, a cross-reaction. The study demonstrates the advantage of using recombinant DNA technology for mass production of antigens for antibody production. Although specificity of the polyclonal antibodies may have been compromised when renatured recombinant proteins were used as immunogens, the ability of the purified IgGs to detect positive abaca samples reveals that the DAC-ELISA can be routinely used for screening disease-free abaca planting materials.

description: Morphology and dynamics at the meso-scale play crucial roles in the overall macro- or system-scale flow of heterogeneous materials. In a multi-scale framework, closure models upscale unresolved sub-grid (meso-scale) physics and therefore encapsulate structure-property (S-P) linkages to predict performance at the macro-scale. This work establishes a route to structure-property linkage, proceeding all the way from imaged micro-structures to flow computations in one unified level set-based framework. Level sets are used to: 1) Define embedded geometries via image segmentation; 2) Simulate the interaction of sharp immersed boundaries with the flow field, and 3) Calculate morphological metrics to quantify structure. Meso-scale dynamics are computed to calculate sub-grid properties, i.e. closure models for momentum and energy equations. The structure-property linkage is demonstrated for two types of multi-material flows: interaction of shocks with a cloud of particles and reactive meso-mechanics of pressed energetic materials. We also present an approach to connect local morphological characteristics in a microstructure containing topologically complex features with the shock response of imaged samples of such materials. This paves the way for using geometric machine learning techniques to associate imaged morphologies with their properties.

description: Quantum entanglement is one of the most important resources in quantum information. In recent years, the research of quantum entanglement mainly focused on the increase in the number of entangled qubits or the high-dimensional entanglement of two particles. Compared with qubit states, multipartite high-dimensional entangled states have beneficial properties and are powerful for constructing quantum networks. However, there are few studies on multipartite high-dimensional quantum entanglement due to the difficulty of creating such states. In this paper, we experimentally prepared a multipartite high-dimensional state $|Ψ_{442}\rangle=\frac{1}{2}(|000\rangle+|110\rangle+|221\rangle+|331\rangle)$ by using the path mode of photons. We obtain the fidelity $F=0.854\pm0.007$ of the quantum state, which proves a real multipartite high-dimensional entangled state. Finally, we use this quantum state to demonstrate a layered quantum network in principle. Our work highlights another route towards complex quantum networks.

description: We propose a novel scenario to explain the observed cosmological asymmetry between matter and antimatter, based on nonperturbative QCD physics. This scenario relies on a mechanism of separation of quarks and antiquarks in two coexisting phases at the end of the cosmological QCD phase transition: ordinary hadrons (and antihadrons), along with massive lumps (and antilumps) of novel color superconducting phase. The latter would serve as the cosmological cold dark matter. In certain conditions the separation of charge is C and CP asymmetric and can leave a net excess of hadrons over antihadrons in the conventional phase, even if the visible universe is globally baryon symmetric $B = 0$. In this case an equal, but negative, overall baryon charge must be hidden in the lumps of novel phase. Due to the small volume occupied by these dense lumps/antilumps of color superconducting phase and the specific features of their interaction with "normal" matter in hadronic phase, this scenario does not contradict the current phenomenological constrains on presence of antimatter in the visible universe. Moreover, in this scenario the observed cosmological ratio $Ω_{DM}\simΩ_{B}$ within an order of magnitude finds a natural explanation, as both contributions to $Ω$ originated from the same physics during the QCD phase transition. The baryon to entropy ratio $n_{B}/n_γ\sim 10^{-10}$ would also be a natural outcome, fixed by the temperature $T_f \simlt T_{QCD}$ at which the separation of phases is completed.

description: Two-loop corrections for the form factor in a massive Abelian theory are evaluated, which result from the insertion of massless fermion or scalar loops into the massive gauge boson propagator. The result is valid for arbitrary energies and gauge boson mass. Power-suppressed terms vanish rapidly in the high energy region where the result is well approximated by a polynomial of third order in ln(s/M^2). The relative importance of subleading logarithms is emphasised.

description: The ability to determine the fragility of agribusiness value chains is valuable to agribusines management practitioners and scholars in a context where risk and uncertainty are increasingly pervasive, consequential and unpredictable. The paper argues for determining the fragility of a chain to adverse events rather than trying to predict the probability and impact of such events. The paper specifically proposes a framework to detect and quantify non-linear consequences in response to progressively deteriorating chain fragility factors. The paper’s approach is a novel alternative to the traditional value chain ‘risk assessment’. Application of the framework to the South African lamb chain reveals that a number of specific factors, like quality and safety performance and cash flow position, have consistently high fragility scores throughout the chain while some factors are uniquely localized to a specific role-player or activity, which highlights the techno-economic uniqueness of individual activities in a chain.

Implementing an ISO/IEC 11179-3 Metadata Repository for Labour Market Data: Building Semantics through Data Structures
Creators: name: Grim, Rob

Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2004

description: The increasing demand for documentation of the workflow to keep track of large amounts of statistical tables and international comparative research urges the Institute for Labour Studies (ILS) to implement a metadata repository. The ISO/IEC 11179-3 standard offers explicit guidelines for developing metadata-registries. One of the core fundamentals for an ISO/IEC 11179-3 metadata repository is the separation of a conceptual layer from a data representation layer. The paper shows the experiences of the ILS with implementing the necessary data structures for setting up a registry for labour market data. The mapping of data element concepts to conceptual domains and data elements using a concept browser is illustrated. Further it is shown how the concept browser facilitates the management and navigation of knowledge domains in labour market research.

description: High-temperature alloy design requires a concurrent consideration of multiple mechanisms at different length scales. We propose a workflow that couples highly relevant physics into machine learning (ML) to predict properties of complex high-temperature alloys with an example of the 9-12 wt.% Cr steels yield strength. We have incorporated synthetic alloy features that capture microstructure and phase transformations into the dataset. Identified high impact features that affect yield strength of 9Cr from correlation analysis agree well with the generally accepted strengthening mechanism. As part of the verification process, the consistency of sub-datasets has been extensively evaluated with respect to temperature and then refined for the boundary conditions of trained ML models. The predicted yield strength of 9Cr steels using the ML models is in excellent agreement with experiments. The current approach introduces physically meaningful constraints in interrogating the trained ML models to predict properties of hypothetical alloys when applied to data-driven materials.

title: Exhibiting Pain: Creative Representations of Life with Chronic Pain
Creators: name: Main, Susanne Amanda
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2020

description: This work provides an exploration of the effects of sharing creative representations of life with chronic physical pain. Social media platforms (Facebook and WordPress) have been used to carry out the research, hosting two online galleries of creative works depicting life with chronic physical pain. Comments on the works, and discussions surrounding them, have been examined to show how different audiences respond to the works, according to whether or not they have pain. In keeping with the postmodern epistemology underpinning this research, issues of interpretation and multiple interpretations have been considered. In addition, responses have been assessed to consider how effective such works are in communicating the experience of living with this invisible and subjective condition. My role as a researcher with chronic physical pain is explored in relation to the use of reflexivity in carrying out the research. The conflict involved in seeking empathy and recognition of experiences living with pain, while balancing this with the desire to keep this personal experience private and the feeling that other people do not want to hear about the condition, is discussed in relation to the concept of public-private dualism. Issues regarding the elicitation of empathy and understanding with the creators’ experiences are considered in the light of the creative works. In addition, the benefits arising from sharing such works in online exhibitions are highlighted, demonstrating the potential for creative approaches to the expression of pain to facilitate the effective communication of the experience.
Getting Wired: Caffeinating Microdata Production at the Minnesota Population Center with Java
Creators: name: Peterson, Marcus
Publisher: name: Zenodo

description: Preparing new Integrated Public Use Microdata Series (IPUMS) datasets for public release can be a time-consuming and painstaking process. Even after the digitization and harmonization of a given dataset, considerable work is still required in disseminating the data and its supplementary documentation to the public. To expedite the turnaround of new and often disparate datasets, the Minnesota Population Center (MPC) has developed a suite of Java-based utilities for generating viewable microdata documentation. Powered by centralized metadata, these tools comprise a generalized application programmer interface (API) for documenting frequencies, coding schemes, and overall IPUMS variable design. This Java API employs object-oriented principles to minimize dataset-specific programming and to ensure the rapid deployment of new data. Furthermore, the IPUMS API provides the core of the newly redesigned web-based data dissemination system. These recent programming advances will enable MPC researchers to process and release new IPUMS data with increased accuracy, efficiency, and speed.

Creators: name: Sivonen, Jouni
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2004

description: In the beginning of its operations, the Finnish Social Science Data Archive (FSD) started to use a simple Access97 database for managing the archiving process of data. This database, called Tiipii, was developed gradually as the routine procedures for archiving were being established. In 2002 FSD started a new project called Tiipii2, aiming to replace the old interface and database with a more user friendly graphical user interface (GUI) and a new relational database. At the moment the GUI is at the testing stage. It will be used to control the data archiving process and to handle internal and external information services. The project has been implemented by open source tools. The paper presents the system which consists of 1) PostgreSQL database in Linux platform, 2) Java code using J2SE, and 3) CORBA architecture using JacORB, which is a free Java implementation of the OMG's CORBA standard.
