description: Excerpts from the report: This study was initiated in the fall of 1958 at the request of the Knoxville Chamber of Commerce, Tennessee Agricultural Extension Service, Tennessee Agricultural Experiment Station, and interested officials of the local government. The original request was for assistance in planning improved facilities for a wholesale fresh fruit and vegetable market, particularly farmers' market facilities. However, after a preliminary investigation, other wholesale food handling facilities appeared to be such that the study was expanded to include poultry, eggs, meat and meat products, frozen foods, dry groceries, and food chain warehouse facilities. This study of the facilities for handling the major food commodities at wholesale in Knoxville is part of a broad program of marketing research to aid in reducing costs and expanding markets for farm products. It had the following objectives: 1. To analyze the present wholesale food marketing situation in Knoxville and to ascertain the adequacy of present facilities in the light of present and future needs. 2. To determine those facilities that would best suit present and future needs. 3. To estimate--should facility improvements be recommended--costs of facility improvements or construction, possible operating expenses, and self-liquidating potential. 4. To estimate probable cost reductions and benefits from any suggested improvements.

description: This work presents initial design and testing of a miniaturized electrical impedance tomography platform. Electrical impedance tomography (EIT) provides a low-cost, non-invasive, radiation-free type of imaging and can be relatively easily implemented on other miniaturized systems like microfluidics. Herein, we describe a miniaturized EIT on chip, along with its measurement setup and image reconstruction pipeline. First imaging results demonstrating a well-functioning setup are presented and form the basis for further investigations.

Flux-flow in d-wave superconductors: Low temperature universality and scaling

description: We demonstrate that superclean d-wave superconductors display a novel type of vortex dynamics: At low temperatures, both dissipative and transverse components of the flux-flow conductivity are found to approach universal values even in the limit of infinite relaxation time. A finite dissipation in the superclean limit is explained in terms of the Landau damping on zero-frequency vortex modes which appear due to minigap nodes in the bound-state spectrum in the vortex core. In the moderately clean regime the scaling law at low T and low field is obtained.

title: Dialogic reading with Mandarin-speaking children: effects on expressive vocabulary and narrative competence.
Creators: name: Li, Ling
Publisher: name: Memorial University of Newofundland
Year: 2020

description: This research study examines the effects of a home-based dialogic reading (DR) intervention on the expressive vocabulary and narrative competence of Mandarin-speaking children. DR is a shared-reading approach that emphasizes verbal interactions between adults and young children. Expressive vocabulary is generally conceived as children’s knowledge of word meanings in speaking or writing, and oral expressive vocabulary is focused on in the present study. Narrative competence refers to their ability to produce and comprehend stories. Three aspects of narrative production were measured—macrostructure, microstructure, and evaluation. Narrative comprehension was measured using comprehension questions that targeted story grammar and problem resolution. In the present study, 81 Mandarin-speaking kindergartners, aged four to five, were pretested on expressive vocabulary and narrative competence and assigned to one of two conditions—DR or customary reading. Parents of the children assigned to the DR group participated in three DR workshops and conducted at least 48 one-on-one shared-reading sessions at home with their child during the 12-week intervention period. Expressive vocabulary and narrative competence were retested immediately after the intervention and again four months later. In-home observations of shared-reading sessions recorded on video were used to track the changes in parents’ reading behaviours, and multiple measures were employed to collect program-evaluation data. The DR intervention yielded a greater effect on the children’s expressive vocabulary at the delayed posttest stage. However, its effect on indicators of narrative competence was not significant except for one indicator of narrative microstructure—adverb density. Positive changes were found in the reading behaviours of parents in the DR group over the intervention period, and positive feedback was also obtained from the comprehensive evaluation of the DR program.

description: We propose a novel cantilever device integrated with a polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS)-encapsulated crack sensor that directly measures the cardiac contractility. The crack sensor was chemically bonded to a PDMS thin layer to form a sandwiched structure which allows to be operated very stably in culture media. The reliability of the proposed crack sensor has improved dramatically compared to no encapsulation layer. After evaluating the durability of the crack sensor bonded with the PDMS layer, cardiomyocytes were cultured on the nano-patterned cantilever for real-time measurement of cardiac contractile forces. The highly sensitive crack sensor continuously measured the cardiac contractility without changing its gauge factor for up to 26 days (>5 million heartbeats). In addition, changes in contractile force induced by drugs were monitored using the crack sensor-integrated cantilever. Finally, experimental results were compared with those obtained via conventional electrophysiological methods to verify the feasibility of building a contraction-based drug-toxicity testing system.

They combine the positive characteristics of ionic liquids and polymers which is why they have a wide range of applications, e.g. in the pharmaceutical sector. They are characterized by properties such as high mechanical strength, biocompatibility, and favorable swelling behavior. In this study, the extremely high mechanical strength of novel polymerized ionic liquids (PILs)-based hydrogels was confirmed by mechanical tests. The swelling behavior was studied of hydrogels based on 1-Vinyl-3-alkylimidazolium bromide with different crosslinkers in various solvents – aqueous and organic.

description: Reduction of C = N double bond is the most important phase I metabolism process of quaternary benzophenanthridine alkaloids (QBAs). Inspired by the NADPH mediated reduction in QBAs, a visible-light promoted reductive aminomethylation of QBAs for synthesis of 6-substituted benzophenanthridines was reported using QBAs and N,N-dimethylaniline as coupling partners in this study. An α-amino radical that derived from QBAs was supposed to be the key intermediate in this visible-light promoted reductive aminomethylation reaction.

description: In the past, the field of drum source separation faced significant challenges due to limited data availability, hindering the adoption of cutting-edge deep learning methods that have found success in other related audio applications. In this manuscript, we introduce StemGMD, a large-scale audio dataset of isolated single-instrument drum stems. Each audio clip is synthesized from MIDI recordings of expressive drums performances using ten real-sounding acoustic drum kits. Totaling 1224 hours, StemGMD is the largest audio dataset of drums to date and the first to comprise isolated audio clips for every instrument in a canonical nine-piece drum kit. We leverage StemGMD to develop LarsNet, a novel deep drum source separation model. Through a bank of dedicated U-Nets, LarsNet can separate five stems from a stereo drum mixture faster than real-time and is shown to significantly outperform state-of-the-art nonnegative spectro-temporal factorization methods.

description: We estimated the impact of a comprehensive set of non-pharmeceutical interventions on the COVID-19 epidemic growth rate across the 37 member states of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development during the early phase of the COVID-19 pandemic and between October and December 2020. For this task, we conducted a data-driven, longitudinal analysis using a multilevel modelling approach with both maximum likelihood and Bayesian estimation. We found that during the early phase of the epidemic: implementing restrictions on gatherings of more than 100 people, between 11 and 100 people, and 10 people or less was associated with a respective average reduction of 2.58%, 2.78% and 2.81% in the daily growth rate in weekly confirmed cases; requiring closing for some sectors or for all but essential workplaces with an average reduction of 1.51% and 1.78%; requiring closing of some school levels or all school levels with an average reduction of 1.12% or 1.65%; recommending mask wearing with an average reduction of 0.45%, requiring mask wearing country-wide in specific public spaces or in specific geographical areas within the country with an average reduction of 0.44%, requiring mask-wearing country-wide in all public places or all public places where social distancing is not possible with an average reduction of 0.96%; and number of tests per thousand population with an average reduction of 0.02% per unit increase. Between October and December 2020 work closing requirements and testing policy were significant predictors of the epidemic growth rate. These findings provide evidence to support policy decision-making regarding which NPIs to implement to control the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic.

description: Excerpts from the report Background: At the time this study was started, estimated egg consumption per person had been decreasing steadily for several years, and further decreases were predicted. An apparent decline in demand for eggs among household consumers was thought to be a key factor in this downtrend. This survey was conducted to provide some insight into influences on egg consumption at the household level by obtaining data on patterns of use of shell eggs among household consumers, factors associated with these patterns, and consumer opinions and purchasing practices with respect to eggs. The results of the study should be helpful in evaluating the potential market for this farm product and in planning programs aimed at encouraging increased demand among household consumers.

description: Understanding powder flow and how it affects pharmaceutical manufacturing process performance remains a significant challenge for industry. This work aims to improve decision making for manufacturing route selection, achieving the key goal of digital design within Industry 4.0 of being able to better predict properties whilst minimizing the amount of material required and time to inform process selection during early-stage development. A Machine Learning model approach is proposed to predict the flow properties of new materials from their physical properties. The model’s implementation will enhance manufacturing quality by taking advantage of the data generated throughout the manufacturing process.

description: Antibiotic resistance is undermining public health; it is imperative that new classes of antibiotics are discovered and developed by companies and academic institutions alike. Previous research by this group used the excellent adaptability of N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC)-silver compounds, which allowed for the discovery of the lead compound 1,3-dibenzyl-4,5-diphenylimidazol-2-ylidene silver(I) acetate (SBC3) [1]. SBC3 breaks the methicillin-resistance in Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) [2] and has proven effective in in vivo tests using Galleria mellonella [3]. More recently, encouraging parts of the antibiotic mechanism of SBC3 were discovered, which underlines the ability of SBC3 to break antibiotic resistance patterns [4]. And SBC3 was tested successfully against biofilms in vitro and against MRSA in-infected mice in vivo [5]. In addition, a telescoped continuous flow route was developed which surpassed the previous batch approach. This provided for a scalable means to afford the targets in higher yield.

description: Two-photon polymerization(2PP) is a process for three-dimensional (3D) micro-and Nano structuring based on the locally controlled curing of liquid precursors (light-sensitive resins) by photochemical triggered polymerization. In this decade, will be hearing a lot about this technic being applied to pharmaceutical applications like fabricating 3D microchannels for nanoparticle precipitation, nano-porous membranes and scaffolds for cell culturing, biomimetic organ-on-chip systems. This paper presents 2pp applied microsystems for continuously generating lipid nanoparticles which are one of the most important drug carrier system. The most important advantages of 2pp is manufacturing 3D shapes that is not possible with lithographic micro and nano fabrication technologies. Also, it will be shown how 2pp fabricated microchannel can be integrated with continuous size measurement by flowDLS for the feed-back controlled generation of nanoparticles.

description: High redshift blazars are an important class of Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) that can provide an independent estimate of the supermassive black-hole mass function in high redshift radio-loud AGN without the bias due to absorption along the line-of-sight. Using the Cosmic Lens All Sky Survey (CLASS) we built a complete radio flux-limited sample of high redshift (z>4) blazars suitable for statistical studies. By combining dedicated optical observations and the SDSS spectroscopic database, we obtained a sample of 26 blazar candidates with a spectroscopic redshift above 4. On the basis of their radio spectrum we distinguish between blazars and QSO with a Gigahertz Peaked Spectrum (GPS) like spectrum. Out of the 18 confirmed blazars 14 constitute a completely identified, flux-limited sample down to a magnitude of 21 (AB). Using this complete sample we derive a space density of blazars with 4

description: Amorphous solid dispersions (ASDs) of a poorly water-soluble active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) in a polymer matrix can enhance the water solubility and improve the bioavailability of the API. Many ASD products are kinetically stabilized, and the inhibition of crystallization of an API within and beyond shelf life is still a matter of debate, since the formation of crystals may impact bioavailability. We present the first literature examples of ASD long-term stability studies over up to 25 years under ambient storage conditions where no API crystallization was observed. Additionally, a risk assessment and mitigation strategy of API crystallization in packaged ASD drug products (DP) is outlined. The risk of shelf-life crystallization and the respective mitigation steps are assigned for different DP development scenarios. Ultimately, the physical stability of ASD DPs during shelf-life storage is modeled by quantifying crystal growth kinetics by transmission Raman spectroscopy (TRS), modeling the impact of water sorption on the glass-transition temperature of the ASD, and predicting the moisture uptake by the packaged ASD DP during storage. This approach is applied to an ASD of an AbbVie-internal compound showing stability beyond the anticipated shelf-life.

description: Dermatoses are skin diseases caused by lowered level of lipids in the intercellular lipid matrix of skin’s uppermost layer stratum corneum. A promising therapy is the application of liposomally formulated skin lipids (ceramides, cholesterol, fatty acids). These so called cerosomes proved very effective in disrupted skin barrier repair; however, they aim primarily on a mechanical surface restoration. For this reason an interesting idea is to combine the cerosomes and anti-inflammatory drugs (such as hydrocortisone) used for the treatment of pathophysiological processes in the skin. Unfortunately, liposomes generally show low drug encapsulation rates, hence they would not be very effective carriers. On the other hand, great encapsulation effectivity can be found in lipid nanocapsules (LNCs). We therefore aimed to create a combined system cerosomes-LNCs that would ensure the skin barrier restoration thanks to the ceramides and simultaneously effectively deliver hydrocortisone as a representative of anti-inflammatory drugs into lower layers of the skin. In this work, we characterized the formulations by dynamic light scattering and transmission electron microscopy to assess their size and morphology.

description: Atom interferometry is a powerful experimental technique that can be employed to search for the oscillation of atomic transition energies induced by ultralight scalar dark matter (ULDM). Previous studies have focused on the sensitivity to ULDM of km-length atom gradiometers, where atom interferometers are located at the ends of very long baselines. In this work, we generalize the treatment of the time-dependent signal induced by a linearly-coupled scalar ULDM candidate for vertical atom gradiometers of any length and find correction factors that especially impact the ULDM signal in short-baseline gradiometer configurations. Using these results, we refine the sensitivity estimates in the limit where shot noise dominates for AION-10, a compact 10 m gradiometer that will be operated in Oxford, and discuss optimal experimental parameters that enhance the reach of searches for linearly-coupled scalar ULDM. After comparing the reach of devices operating in broadband and resonant modes, we show that well-designed compact atom gradiometers are able to explore regions of dark matter parameter space that are not yet constrained.

description: We show that well-posed, conformally-decomposed formulations of the 3+1 Einstein equations can be obtained by densitizing the lapse and by combining the constraints with the evolution equations. We compute the characteristics structure and verify the constraint propagation of these new well-posed formulations. In these formulations, the trace of the extrinsic curvature and the determinant of the 3-metric are singled out from the rest of the dynamical variables, but are evolved as part of the well-posed evolution system. The only free functions are the lapse density and the shift vector. We find that there is a 3-parameter freedom in formulating these equations in a well-posed manner, and that part of the parameter space found consists of formulations with causal characteristics, namely, characteristics that lie only within the lightcone. In particular there is a 1-parameter family of systems whose characteristics are either normal to the slicing or lie along the lightcone of the evolving metric.

description: Energetic demands, nutritional needs, and the scale of foraging collectively influence terrestrial herbivore feeding decisions to meet nitrogen (N) intake requirements. I measured moose (Alces alces) selection for distributions of browse N content and biomass at three scales. Additionally, I measured snowshoe hare (Lepus americanus) preference for browse N content under varying energetic and nutritional demands using cafeteria experiments. I predicted that both herbivores would select for N content; this selection would be stronger for moose at smaller scales and for hares under greater nutritional demands and weaker for moose at larger scales and for hares under greater energetic demands. Moose responses did not support my scalar predictions, but I uncovered individual-level selection trade-offs. The hare experiments supported my energetic and nutritional demand predictions. Collectively, nutrient availability within terrestrial systems may influence herbivore movement and behaviours, although individuals remain flexible in how they respond to and attain limiting nutrients.

description: In this note, we give sufficient conditions for the (semi)stability of a hypersurface $H$ of $\mathbb{P}^N_k$ in terms of its degree $d$, the maximal multiplicity $δ$ of its singularities, and the dimension $s$ of its singular locus. For instance, we show that $H$ is semistable when $d \geq δ\min (N+1, s+3)$. The proof relies in particular on Benoist's lower bound for the dimension of the intersection of the singular locus $H_{\mathrm{sing}}$ of $H$ with some linear subspace of $\mathbb{P}^N_k$ associated to a one-parameter subgroup $λ$ of $\mathrm{SL}_{N+1, k}$, in terms of the numerical data in the Hilbert-Mumford criterion applied to $λ$ and to an equation $F_H$ of $H$.

description: The poor solubility of a large number of active pharmaceutical ingredients (API) is a major challenge in pharmaceutical research. Therefore, the extrusion of amorphous solid dispersions (ASDs) is one promising approach to enhance the dissolution rate by molecularly dissolve the API in an amorphous carrier polymer. During ASD development, crucial parameters as the dissolution and the decomposition need to be monitored. Within this study, a small scale twin screw extruder was coupled with special ColVisTec UV-Vis probes that are characterized by their small dimensions. This setup enables a systematic formulation development and optimization based on in-line monitoring of crucial parameters using small amounts of material.

Obtainment of Mueller-Jones matrix from the outer product of input and output Stokes vectors

description: Implementation of a theorem that was recently put forward is discussed. The theorem states that there exists a relation between input-output Stokes vectors and complex vectors. Complex vectors are obtained as a result of transformation of Stokes vectors by Z matrices. Z matrices are 4x4 analogues of Jones matrices. Jones matrices and Z matrices can be characterized by one real and three complex parameters. It is shown that, in general, six Stokes vector measurements are needed to find all parameters by the proposed theorem. The method becomes more efficient as the number of parameters decreases. If one of the complex parameters is zero (optical system has a symmetry) only two Stokes vector measurements is enough. Besides the symmetry condition, if the optical system is a pure diattenuator or pure retarder (all nonzero complex parameters are real or pure imaginary), then single Stokes vector measurement is enough to determine the parameters that characterize the optical system. It is also discussed that complex parameters can be altered by a rotation about the z-axis, and it is shown that in some cases it is possible to make one complex parameter zero by simply rotating the optical system.

description: Two-phase biocatalysis is commonly used for the bioconversion of water-insoluble chemical and pharmaceutical compounds. In research laboratories, such processes often take place in flasks and are driven and limited by slow diffusive processes. In this work, we developed droplet-based microfluidic systems and used them to perform testosterone dehydrogenation. The use of microdroplets as reaction vessels offers the advantage of greatly improved diffusion rates due to significantly increased surface-to-volume ratio. We found that indeed reaction time was reduced from tens of minutes to tens of seconds without sacrificing conversion efficiency. This demonstrates the potential of droplet-based two-phase biocatalysis.

Learning Top-k Subtask Planning Tree based on Discriminative Representation Pre-training for Decision Making

description: Many complicated real-world tasks can be broken down into smaller, more manageable parts, and planning with prior knowledge extracted from these simplified pieces is crucial for humans to make accurate decisions. However, replicating this process remains a challenge for AI agents and naturally raises two questions: How to extract discriminative knowledge representation from priors? How to develop a rational plan to decompose complex problems? Most existing representation learning methods employing a single encoder structure are fragile and sensitive to complex and diverse dynamics. To address this issue, we introduce a multiple-encoder and individual-predictor regime to learn task-essential representations from sufficient data for simple subtasks. Multiple encoders can extract adequate task-relevant dynamics without confusion, and the shared predictor can discriminate the task characteristics. We also use the attention mechanism to generate a top-k subtask planning tree, which customizes subtask execution plans in guiding complex decisions on unseen tasks. This process enables forward-looking and globality by flexibly adjusting the depth and width of the planning tree. Empirical results on a challenging platform composed of some basic simple tasks and combinatorially rich synthetic tasks consistently outperform some competitive baselines and demonstrate the benefits of our design.

Local Enhancement of Antiferromagnetic Correlations by Nonmagnetic Impurities

description: The local enhancement of antiferromagnetic correlations near vacancies observed in a variety of spin systems is analyzed in a single framework. Variational calculations suggest that the resonating-valence-bond character of the spin correlations at short distances is responsible for the enhancement. Numerical results for uniform spin chains, with and without frustration, dimerized chains, ladders, and two dimensional clusters are in agreement with our conjecture. This short distance phenomenon occurs independently of the long distance behavior of the spin correlations in the undoped system. Experimental predictions for a variety of compounds are briefly discussed.

description: The Andromeda Galaxy is the closest spiral galaxy to us and has been the subject of numerous studies. It harbors a massive dark matter (DM) halo which may span up to ~600 kpc across and comprises ~90% of the galaxy's total mass. This halo size translates into a large diameter of 42 degrees on the sky for an M31-Milky Way (MW) distance of 785 kpc, but its presumably low surface brightness makes it challenging to detect with gamma-ray telescopes. Using 7.6 years of Fermi Large Area Telescope (Fermi-LAT) observations, we make a detailed study of the gamma-ray emission between 1-100 GeV towards M31's outer halo, with a total field radius of 60 degrees centered at M31, and perform an in-depth analysis of the systematic uncertainties related to the observations. We use the cosmic ray (CR) propagation code GALPROP to construct specialized interstellar emission models (IEMs) to characterize the foreground gamma-ray emission from the MW, including a self-consistent determination of the isotropic component. We find evidence for an extended excess that appears to be distinct from the conventional MW foreground, having a total radial extension upwards of ~120-200 kpc from the center of M31. We discuss plausible interpretations of the excess emission but emphasize that uncertainties in the MW foreground, and in particular, modeling of the H I-related components, have not been fully explored and may impact the results. This study was first presented in a poster at the 8th International Fermi Symposium. The article describing the full analysis is under preparation and will be published elsewhere.

description: It has recently been pointed out that one can construct invertible conformal transformations with a parity-violating conformal factor, which can be employed to generate a novel class of parity-violating ghost-free metric theories from general relativity. We obtain exact solutions for rotating black holes in such theories by performing the conformal transformation on the Kerr solution in general relativity, which we dub conformal Kerr solutions. We explore the geodesic motion of a test particle in the conformal Kerr spacetime. While null geodesics remain the same as those in the Kerr spacetime, timelike geodesics exhibit interesting differences due to an effective external force caused by the parity-violating conformal factor.
