description: Zeolites in the Howson facies of the Lower Jurassic Telkwa Formation, north-central British Columbia, include analcime, wairakite, laurnontite, thomsonite, mesolite, scolecite, stilbite, and heulandite. Electron microprobe anlyses of these zeolites show close agreement with ideal end-member compositions. The Howson facies zeolitization occurred in a regime of high temperature/pressure ratio typical of geothermal fields. Published stratigraphic reconstruction indicates a maximum burial depth during zeolitization of 4 kilometres. This corresponds to a maximum load of approximately 102 MPa. Comparison of the zeolite assemblage to published experimental data suggests a maximum temperature of 350°C for zeolitization of the Howson facies. Minimum pressures and temperatures could have been close to surface values. Zeolitization of the Howson facies was governed by physicochemical variables associated with the movement of fluids of variable temperature and composition through rock of varying permeability and composition. A high water/rock ratio is suggested by extensive occurrences of amygdules and groundmass replacement comprising up to 80% of the rock, veins and fracture breccia cements which in many instances bear no compositional relationship to the bulk rock composition, and the preferential alteration of initially more permeable strata. The complex stratigraphic distribution of zeolites in the Howson facies cannot be interpreted as a progressive dehydration with increasing depth and temperature. Paragenetic sequences can be explained only in part by a decreasing temperature with time. In some instances fracture permeability controlled the degree of hydration of the stable zeolite. Isolated groundmass zeolite occurrences were controlled by the composition of the host rock, whereas those occurrences associated with veins or fracture breccia cements involved external buffering of the fluid chemistry and mass transfer. Evolution of fluid chemistry with progressive interaction of meteoric water and volcanic rock can explain some, but not all, of the paragenetic sequences observed in the Howson facies. Changes in fluid chemistry associated with processes such as boiling can explain parts of paragenetic sequences such as late calcite in veins and fracture breccia cements. The regional distribution of zeolites within the Howson facies was controlled by changes in rock composition, temperature, and origin of the groundwater away from the volcanic centre toward the eastern boundary of the facies which is marked by a paleo-shoreline.

description: In this paper, we carry out tests on the Monte Carlo Markov Chain (MCMC) technique with the aim of determining: 1) its ability to retrieve isothermal plasmas from a set of spectral line intensities, with and without random noise; 2) to what extent can it discriminate between an isothermal solution and a narrow multithermal distribution; and 3) how well it can detect multiple isothermal components along the line of sight. We also test the effects of 4) atomic data uncertainties on the results, and 5) the number of ions whose lines are available for the DEM reconstruction. We find that the MCMC technique is unable to retrieve isothermal plasmas to better than Delta log T = 0.05. Also, the DEM curves obtained using lines calculated with an isothermal plasma and with a Gaussian distribution with FWHM of log T = 0.05 are very similar. Two near-isothermal components can be resolved if their temperature separation is Delta log T = 0.2 or larger. Thus, DEM diagnostics has an intrinsic resolving power of log T = 0.05. Atomic data uncertainties may significantly affect both temperature and peak DEM values, but do not alter our conclusions. The availability of small sets of lines also does not worsen the performance of the MCMC technique, provided these lines are formed in a wide temperature range. Our analysis shows the present limitations in our ability to identify the presence of strictly isothermal plasmas in stellar and solar coronal spectra.

description: Introduction Health seeking behaviour (HSB) refers to any activity undertaken by individuals who perceive themselves to have a health problem or to be ill in order to find an appropriate remedy. This study aimed to understand the oral HSB among non-Malaysian adults in Malaysia when they encounter oral health problem(s). Methods Data of non-Malaysian adults aged 18 years and over from a nationwide cross-sectional household survey [National Health and Morbidity Survey (NHMS) 2019] were analysed using complex sample descriptive statistics. Presence of oral health problem(s) within the last two weeks were assessed. Those with oral health problem(s) were then asked whether treatment was sought from a healthcare practitioner (HCP). Those who did not seek treatment were prompted to report their perception of needing to seek care from a HCP and the reasons if they perceived care is not needed. Results Among 736 non-Malaysian adults, 5.37% reported to have encountered oral health problem(s). Among them, only 12.71% sought care from a HCP. 75.61% of those who did not seek care from a HCP did not perceive the need to seek treatment, stating not sick enough to necessitate treatment (30.86%) and self-medicate (32.29%) as the main reasons. Discussion There is a low prevalence of non-Malaysian who sought oral healthcare as compared to previous NHMS, as well as low perceived need to seek care from HCP. Studies have identified immigrants as high risk groups for oral diseases. Improving oral health literacy, provision of assistance programs and social support are crucial to improve oral HSB among non-Malaysians.

Multimodal Alternative Evaluation US 60 (Versailles Road) Lexington, KY: Final Report
Creators: name: Kirk, Adam J.
Publisher: name: Kentucky Transportation Center, University of Kentucky
Year: 2013
Subjects: subject: Transportation Engineering

description: The Versailles Road corridor is a major arterial into the heart of Lexington, KY, connecting the Bluegrass Airport, Keeneland, and the Bluegrass Parkway with downtown. In addition, the corridor serves as the most heavily used transit route within the city. Heavy pedestrian and bicycle usage also exist on the corridor making it one of the most vibrant and diverse multimodal corridors in the city if not the state. However, few improvements have been made for either automobile or other modes of transportation in recent years leading to a poor condition of some facilities and the need for improved and expanded modal facilities on the corridor. A recent report by the Kentucky Transportation Center titled “Evaluation of Road Diets” identified some alternatives to balance auto and other mode uses on corridors such as Versailles Road, and this study was initiated in order to test the feasibility of road diet options. However, the traffic volumes on the roadway exceed the recommended range for those alternatives. Therefore, there is a distinct need to develop alternatives that can improve multimodal uses on high volume roadways, and the Versailles Road corridor is a prime candidate for the development and evaluation of such measures.  The objective of this study is to identify alternative roadway configurations that are capable of balancing multimodal uses including vehicular, pedestrian, bicycle and transit modes. The limits of the study area are from Alexandria Drive to Oliver Lewis Way.

Severe Thrombocytopenia
Anti-HLA Class I

description: Neonatal alloimmune thrombocytopenia (NAIT) is the leading cause of thrombocytopenia in otherwise healthy newborn. Maternal antibodies raised against paternally inherited alloantigen carried on fetal platelet causing NAIT. Maternal IgG antibodies passed through to the fetal via the placenta, attack and cause the destruction of the fetal platelet. We present a case of NAIT without any complications in a premature baby (35 weeks) with VACREL association, G6PD deficiency, left calcified cephalohaematoma, cardiomegaly and hypospadias with severe thrombocytopenia (platelet counts is 23 109/L) at day 2 of life and received twice platelet transfusion. Platelet count initially 123 109/L at birth but significantly drop to 22 109/L at day 2 of life and persistently less than 50 109/L until day 10 of life before it normalized. Maternal serum antibody screening was negative but platelet immunology test detected maternal platelet-reactive antibody Anti-HLA Class I and correlates with incompatible parenteral crossmatch indicating that parent had "platelet-antigen incompatibility". The goal of obstetric management is to identify pregnancies at risk and prevent intracranial haemorrhage. There is no evidence to support routine screening for pregnancies as per current practice. The latest treatments includes maternal administration of IV IG to suppress maternal antibody production and or to reduce placental transfer of antibodies; with or without steroids during antepartum period besides planning of mode, timing and method of delivery. This is a rare and unique case of NAIT secondary to Anti-HLA Class I antibody and hence clinician should be au fait with the diagnosis and management as it is infrequent in our setting.

description: Fruits of Citrus sinensis L. Osbeck var. Valencia contain hesperidin as a major flavanone glycoside. Hesperidin (H) was isolated from the peels of Valencia orange and formulated as hexosomal nanodispersions (F1) adopting the hot emulsification method. The antimycobacterial activity(anti-TB) was evaluated through a microplate Alamar blue (MABA) assay where F1 showed significant activity with MIC = 0.19 µM. To unravel the potential mechanism of the anti-TB, a molecular docking study of H using the Mycobacterial Dihydrofolate reductase (Mtb. DHFR) enzyme was performed. Hesperidin exhibited significant interactions with Mtb. DHFR active site. Sulforhodamine B assay was applied to evaluate cytotoxic activity against the lung cancer cell line (A-549). F1 showed a cytotoxic effect at IC50= 33 µM. It also has potent antiviral activity against Human Coronavirus 229E with IC50= 258.8 μM utilising crystal violet assay. Peels of Valencia orange could be a source of bioactive metabolites to control significant diseases.

description: Deposition of a massive ($10^4$ to $10^5 \msun$) giant molecular cloud (GMC) into the inner parsec of the Galaxy is widely believed to explain the origin of over a hundred unusually massive young stars born there $\sim 6$ Myr ago. An unknown fraction of that gas could have been accreted by Sgr A*, the supermassive black hole (SMBH) of the Milky Way. It has been recently suggested that two observed $γ$-ray-emitting bubbles emanating from the very center of our Galaxy were inflated by this putative activity of Sgr A*. We run a suite of numerical simulations to test whether the observed morphology of the bubbles could be due to the collimation of a wide angle outflow from Sgr A* by the disc-like Central Molecular Zone (CMZ), a well known massive repository of molecular gas in the central $\sim 200$ pc. We find that an Eddington-limited outburst of Sgr A* lasting $\simeq 1$ Myr is required to reproduce the morphology of the {\it Fermi} bubbles, suggesting that the GMC mass was $\sim 10^5 \msun$ and it was mainly accreted by Sgr A* rather than used to make stars. We also find that the outflow from Sgr A* enforces strong angular momentum mixing in the CMZ disc, robustly sculpting it into a much narrower structure -- a ring -- perhaps synonymous with the recently reported "Herschel ring". In addition, we find that Sgr A* outflow is likely to have induced formation of massive star-forming GMCs in the CMZ. In this scenario, the Arches and Quintuplet clusters, the two observed young star clusters in the central tens of parsecs of the Galaxy, and also GMCs such as Sgr B2, owe their existence to the recent Sgr A* activity.

Descoperirile monetare din aşezarea Dacică de la Brad

description: Monetary Discoveries in the Dacian settlement from Brad During the archaeological excavations from Brad 31 ancient coins have been found : 1 AE of the IVth c.B.C. (Histria?) ; 1 AE of the IIIrd — the Ist c.B.C. (?) (a North-Pontic one); 1 AR of Lysimach type issucd during Mithridates VI at Byzantion (70—60 B.C.); 5 AR Dacian (Virlcju-Bucurcști type); 14 AR Roman Republican (129 — 32/31 B.C.); 2 AR Augustus; 1 AE Nero ; 2 AR early Roman Imperial of the Ist c.A.D.; 1 plated coin (?) and 1 AE (colonial) early Roman Imperial; 2 AE unidentified (Dacians ?). These monetary discoveries are concentrated in the last level, the fourth (20 copies = 64,51%) and the last but one level, the third (5 copies = 16,70%). We have also noticed that some more recent coins were found deeper, and some issues dated, from a numismatic point of view, from the IIIrd to the second half of the Ist c.B.C., appear in the last level (IV). So, after the numismatic analysis, the dating of some archaeological levels must be corrected. Therefore, the third level which was dated in the IInd —the Ist c.B.C., can be dated, as a consequencc of the numismatic redating, only in the sccond half of the Ist c.B.C. The analysis above is also confirmed by the other discoveries in the settlements La Téne from Dacia. In these settlements a gap has been ascertained. It vas between the end of the IInd c. and the first half of the Ist c.B.C. On the whole, we can appreciate that the monetary discoveries from Brad mean only an incipient stage of the monetary economy; at the same time one can moot the question of existence of a protourban settlement. The monetary discoveries from Brad are described in the Catalogue A. In the Catalogue B some similar dîscoveries, coming from the surroundings of the ancient settlement are presented.

description: Natural products have contributed immensely towards the treatment of various diseases including diabetes. Here, a database of small molecules from nature possessing antidiabetic properties was analysed and shortlisted according to their structural diversity. Later, those structures were screened by in-silico docking studies to understand their affinity towards glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor. The selected molecules were isolated and investigated further by integrated in-vitro and in-silico approaches. Alpha-mangostin was found to be suitable due to its excellent docking score and isolation yield. A pancreatic beta cell line was used to test the activity of alpha-mangostin and observed a 3-fold increase in insulin secretion compared to 15 mM glucose control. Further, in-silico molecular dynamics simulations studies have validated its target by showing conformational changes at the functionally active part of the GLP-1 receptor. This screening strategy can be applied to identify pertinent natural products rapidly for various therapeutic targets.

description: Introduction There is a strong need for having a focal point such as a data repository platform to ensure that evidence produced in local context can be collected, managed, protected and disseminated to relevant parties in timely manner. In establishing such platform, understanding the best practices and major characteristics of established data repositories on health-related research data worldwide would be the first crucial step. A scoping review was thus performed with the objective of mapping the characteristics of online-based health-related research data repositories that are being practised globally. Methodology A three phase processes was performed which include; identifying relevant articles from major online databases, namely Pubmed, CINAHL, Web of Science and Google Scholar; charting the data, and; collating and summarising the data from the articles collected. Results A total of 46 final articles were identified and analysed. Majority of the articles discussed on platforms which are based in the United States and Canada (n=26), combination of more than one country (n=9), Europe (n=8), Africa (n=2), and Asia (n=1). Three major themes emerged that describe the characteristics of these data repositories, namely; Data deposit and archive; Data retrieval and access; Data policy and governance. Discussion/Conclusion The scoping review has revealed the major characteristics of established health-related research data repositories that are being practised globally. It is thus imperative to adopt these characteristics in local data repository platforms to enhance the function of these platforms especially for organisations that produce and manage local research products such as the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Malaysia.

Sylvia Plath and existentialism

description: Existentialism places its basic concepts--of being and non-being, of freedom and the courage to accept its burden of choice, of meaninglessness and despair--at the centre of the individual consciousness, for that, in the existentialists' view, is where truth resides. Hence, any artistic expression of such concepts must find its locus in the individual consciousness. Sylvia Plath's writings are located precisely there. In Plath's work, the creative will seems to be split between a will to live and a will to die. Her letters are full of life and light; her poems contain much death and darkness. Yet, between the two poles of existential consciousness--between the self that stands in danger of annihilation in its encounter with nothingness or non-being and the self with a courage that affirms its sense of being in the face of that nothingness--there is the complex network of experiences and responses to such experiences which puts the individual toward one or other of these polarities. Which becomes the greater magnet depends upon the choices an individual makes; a frightening situation since existentialism neither recognizes nor offers any absolutes or certainties. Plath's work reflects this kind of terrifying freedom. Above all, in order to know life, the existentialist must be prepared to accept the finiteness of his own life, and to understand the dying-in-living that goes on unto death itself. Plath's consciousness in this respect moves from an awareness of that nothingness beyond the grave to a sense of the more oppressive nothingness this side of the grave. In her early poems, death is simply that power which compels man to his eternal sleep, but in her later poems death or nothingness presents itself in more subtle form--sometimes as things or statues, sometimes as barrenness or futility, sometimes as an enticing, almost irresistible, peacefulness. Perhaps the most debilitating aspect of this kind of death resides in the knowledge that, every day, life must be wrested anew from the jaws of pain, and routine, and disillusion, and whathaveyou. Still, in the existentialists' view, it is in one's own nothingness that one discovers the essential nature of one's own being. Here, too, one discovers the paradoxes and contradictions of life which require that meaning for existence be created out of the absurdity of the human condition. For the poet as for the existentialist, love and creativity, which involve commitment to the creative process as well as to one's fellow beings, are the fundamental qualities which make such meaning possible. Plath's writings reflect her developing existential consciousness, as well as the deepening conflict between the will to live and the will to die, and that sense of creative commitment. And, despite her self annihilation, the poet's work reveals an unflinching commitment to life.

description: Conocarpus lancifolius Engl. (Combretaceae) has several potential health-promoting effects, such as antidiabetic, antimicrobial, antioxidant, and cytotoxic effects. Phytochemical study of the ethyl acetate fraction of the leaf extract of this plant led to the isolation and identification of eight compounds viz., gallic acid (1), dihydromyricetin (2), myricetin (3), daucosterol (4), syringetin 3-O-β-D-glucopyranoside (5), quercetin 3-O-β-D-glucoside (6), gallocatechin (7), and (-)-epigallocatechin-3-O-gallate (8). Their acetylcholinesterase (AChE) in vitro and in silico inhibitory activities were evaluated. Daucosterol (4) showed the highest activity (IC50 0.316 μM) which was further validated by the superimposed docking orientation with the co-crystallized inhibitor, donepezil.

description: This study is the first to investigate the chemical composition of essential oil and antioxidant activity of the essential oil and methanol extracts from the leaves of Knema globularia (Lam.) Warb. from Vietnam. According to gas chromatography and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry analysis, the major constituents of K. globularia essential oil were β-elemene (25.48%), α-copaene (17.05%), β-caryophyllene (9.37%), and α-humulene (8.42%). The antioxidant activity of the samples was determined using DPPH and ABTS methods. In both assays, the polar subfraction of the methanolic extract showed better antioxidative capacity than the nonpolar subfraction and the essential oil. In addition, the amounts of total phenol value in the polar subfraction and the nonpolar subfraction were determined to be 113.84 μg/mg and 47.52 μg/mg, respectively. The findings demonstrate that the essential oil and methanol extracts of K. globularia possess significant antioxidant activities and may be a new potential source of natural antioxidants.

description: In their model for the origin of the parent bodies of iron meteorites, Bottke et al proposed differentiated planetesimals that were formed in the region of 1-2 AU during the first 1.5 Myr, as the parent bodies, and suggested that these objects and their fragments were scattered into the asteroid belt as a result of interactions with planetary embryos. Although viable, this model does not include the effect of a giant planet that might have existed or been growing in the outer regions. We present the results of a concept study where we have examined the effect of a planetary body in the orbit of Jupiter on the early scattering of planetesimals from terrestrial region into the asteroid belt. We integrated the orbits of a large battery of planetesimals in a disk of planetary embryos, and studied their evolutions for different values of the mass of the planet. Results indicate that when the mass of the planet is smaller than 10 Earth-masses, its effects on the interactions among planetesimals and planetary embryos is negligible. However, when the planet mass is between 10 and 50 Earth-masses, simulations point to a transitional regime with ~50 Earth-mass being the value for which the perturbing effect of the planet can no longer be ignored. Simulations also show that further increase of the mass of the planet strongly reduces the efficiency of the scattering of planetesimals from the terrestrial planet region into the asteroid belt. We present the results of our simulations and discuss their possible implications for the time of giant planet formation.

description: We demonstrate the existence of robust bulk extended states in the disordered Kane-Mele model with vertical and horizontal Zeeman fields, in the presence of a large Rashba coupling. The phase diagrams are mapped out by using level statistics analysis and computations of the localization length and spin-Chern numbers $C_\pm$. $C_\pm$ are protected by the finite energy and spin mobility gaps. The latter is shown to stay open for arbitrarily large vertical Zeeman fields, or for horizontal Zeeman fields below a critical strength or at moderate disorder. In such cases, a change of $C_\pm$ is necessarily accompanied by the closing of the mobility gap at the Fermi level. The numerical simulations reveal sharp changes in the quantized values of $C_\pm$ when crossing the regions of bulk extended states, indicating that the topological nature of the extended states is indeed linked to the spin-Chern numbers. For large horizontal Zeeman fields, the spin-gap closes at strong disorder prompting a change in the quantized spin-Chern numbers without a closing of the energy mobility gap.

description: The magnetic susceptibility and magnetization of high quality single crystal beta-TeVO4 are reported. We show that this compound, made of weakly coupled infinite chains of VO5 pyramids sharing corners, behaves as a S = 1/2 one-dimensional Heisenberg antiferromagnet. From magnetic experiments we deduce the intrachain antiferromagnetic coupling constant J/kB = 21.4 $\pm$ 0.2 K. Below 5 K a series of three phase transitions at 2.26, 3.28 and 4.65 K is observed.

description: The generalized teleparallel gravity has been suggested to explain the present cosmic acceleration of the universe. In this paper, we take spatially homogenous and anisotropic Bianchi type $I$ universe in the framework of $F(T)$ gravity. The behavior of accelerating universe is investigated for three purely kinetic k-essence models. We explore equation of state parameter and deceleration parameter for these k-essence models. It is found that all these models exhibit quintessence behavior of the universe.

description: We use local and global magnetometry measurements to study the influence of magnetic domain width w on the domain-induced vortex pinning in superconducting/ferromagnetic bilayers, built of a Nb film and a ferromagnetic Co/Pt multilayer with perpendicular magnetic anisotropy, with an insulating layer to eliminate proximity effect. The quasi-periodic domain patterns with different and systematically adjustable width w, as acquired by a special demagnetization procedure, exert tunable vortex pinning on a superconducting layer. The largest enhancement of vortex pinning, by a factor of more than 10, occurs when w ~ 310 nm is close to the magnetic penetration depth.

description: Semiclassical techniques have proven to be a very powerful method to extract physical effects from different quantum theories. Therefore, it is expected that in the near future they will play a very prominent role in the context of quantum gravity. In this work we develop systematic tools to derive semiclassical approximations for any quantum theory with one degree of freedom. In our approach, the wave function is decomposed in terms of an infinite set of moments, which encode the complete quantum information of the system. Semiclassical regimes can then be properly described by truncation of this infinite system. The use of efficient computer algebra tools allows us to compute the equations of motion up to a very high order. In this way, we can study very precisely the quantum back reaction of the system as well as the convergence of the method with the considered order. Finally, these tools are applied to the particular case of a homogeneous universe filled with a massless scalar field and positive cosmological constant, which provide interesting physical results.

description: Introduction  One of the initiatives of the MOH in developing future healthcare leaders is through the Talent Grooming Programme for Technical Healthcare Professionals (TGP). A research project is made mandatory before the talents can complete the programme. However, only 46.2% of them completed TGP within the stipulated time of 3 years. Therefore, a study was performed to evaluate the issues and challenges in completing the programme. A qualitative study was conducted to explore the personal experiences of talents by looking at the issues and challenges in completing TGP. This paper will highlight the issues revolving TGP Project. Methodology  Maximum variation sampling was used to recruit 57 participants who were probe using semi-structured interviews between Sept 2019 - Mac 2020. Interviews were audio-recorded and transcribed. Thematic analysis was performed using open coding followed by second-order coding. Results TGP project was the main obstacle for many talents towards completing TGP. The challenges could be divided into three categories, namely individual reasons, workplace challenges, project planning and execution. The main issue under individual reasons was lack of knowledge and experience in research. Time constraint emerged as the foremost issue related to workplace challenges. The narrow scope of TGP research project was a major setback in the project planning and subsequently the main hindrance towards project execution and TGP completion. Discussion/Conclusion Scope expansion to provide similar consideration to projects that best reflect the leadership skills at the talent's workplace should be taken into consideration besides providing more research support to talents.

description: Giant star-formation clumps in dwarf irregular galaxies can have masses exceeding a few percent of the galaxy mass enclosed inside their orbital radii. They can produce sufficient torques on dark matter halo particles, halo stars, and the surrounding disk to lose their angular momentum and spiral into the central region in 1 Gyr. Pairs of giant clumps with similarly large relative masses can interact and exchange angular momentum to the same degree. The result of this angular momentum loss is a growing central concentration of old stars, gas, and star formation that can produce a long-lived starburst in the inner region, identified with the BCD phase. This central concentration is proposed to be analogous to the bulge in a young spiral galaxy. Observations of star complexes in five local BCDs confirm the relatively large clump masses that are expected for this process. The observed clumps also seem to contain old field stars, even after background light subtraction, in which case the clumps may be long-lived. The two examples with clumps closest to the center have the largest relative clump masses and the greatest contributions from old stars. An additional indication that the dense central regions of BCDs are like bulges is the high ratio of the inner disk scale height to the scale length, which is comparable to 1 for four of the galaxies.

description: A model for a homogeneous and isotropic spatially flat Universe, composed of baryons, radiation, neutrinos, dark matter and dark energy is analyzed. We infer that dark energy (considered to behave as a scalar field) interacts with dark matter (either by the Wetterich model, or by the Anderson and Carroll model) and with neutrinos by a model proposed by Brookfield et al.. The latter is understood to have a mass-varying behavior. We show that for a very-softly varying field, both interacting models for dark matter give the same results. The models reproduce the expected red-shift performances of the present behavior of the Universe.

description: We have investigated the correlation between the microwave loss and patterning method for coplanar waveguide titanium nitride resonators fabricated on Si wafers. Three different methods were investigated: fluorine- and chlorine-based reactive ion etches and an argon-ion mill. At high microwave probe powers the reactive etched resonators showed low internal loss, whereas the ion-milled samples showed dramatically higher loss. At single-photon powers we found that the fluorine-etched resonators exhibited substantially lower loss than the chlorine-etched ones. We interpret the results by use of numerically calculated filling factors and find that the silicon surface exhibits a higher loss when chlorine-etched than when fluorine-etched. We also find from microscopy that re-deposition of silicon onto the photoresist and side walls is the probable cause for the high loss observed for the ion-milled resonators
