description: Early phases of the chemical evolution and formation history of extremely metal poor (EMP) stars are investigated using hierarchical galaxy formation models. We build a merger tree of the Galaxy according to the extended Press-Schechter theory. We follow the chemical evolution along the tree, and compare the model results to the metallicity distribution function (MDF) and abundance ratio distribution of the Milky Way halo. We adopt three different initial mass functions (IMFs). In a previous studies, we argue that typical mass of EMP stars should be high-mass(~10Msun) based on studies of binary origin carbon-rich EMP stars. In this study, we show that only the high-mass IMF can explain a observed small number of EMP stars. For relative element abundances, the high-mass IMF and the Salpeter IMF predict similar distributions. We also investigate dependence on nucleosynthetic yields of supernovae (SNe). The theoretical SN yields by Kobayashi et al.(2006) and Chieffi & Limonge (2004) show reasonable agreement with observations for $α$-elements. Our model predicts significant scatter of element abundances at [Fe/H]

 Notes. The typical form of the species produces dark brown to black fruiting bodies with a persistent peridium, sometimes remaining in flakes and stalks shorter than half the total height of the sporocarp. Uncertainty on the identity of the material studied arises from the colour of the sporocarps, greyish brown, and the peridium persisting as elongated remnants instead of flakes. These differences may be due to environmental conditions.

description: This article aims to contribute to the debate about the link between ‘hegemonic masculinity’ and childcare practices in conceptions of ‘caring masculinities’. It conceptualises ‘caring masculinities’ along a continuum that encompasses ‘less-caring’ and ‘more-caring’ practices at each extreme, both shaped by men’s perceptions of their intersecting identities as husbands and fathers. This draws on the concept of ‘caring’ in feminist moral philosophy and on sociological approaches to ‘masculinity’ to analyse empirical evidence of Khmer men’s childcare practices in Cambodia. The development of a continuum of caring masculinity enables us to investigate the extent to which, and the way in which, men are engaged in ‘direct’ and ‘indirect’ care in their childcare practices, alongside their breadwinning roles. The empirical data are based on qualitative, in-depth interviews with 26 young fathers and 26 young mothers who have at least one young child aged six or younger and who reside in either urban or rural settings in Cambodia.

description: The Low Frequency Instrument (LFI) on-board the ESA Planck satellite carries eleven radiometer subsystems, called Radiometer Chain Assemblies (RCAs), each composed of a pair of pseudo-correlation receivers. We describe the on-ground calibration campaign performed to qualify the flight model RCAs and to measure their pre-launch performances. Each RCA was calibrated in a dedicated flight-like cryogenic environment with the radiometer front-end cooled to 20K and the back-end at 300K, and with an external input load cooled to 4K. A matched load simulating a blackbody at different temperatures was placed in front of the sky horn to derive basic radiometer properties such as noise temperature, gain, and noise performance, e.g. 1/f noise. The spectral response of each detector was measured as was their susceptibility to thermal variation. All eleven LFI RCAs were calibrated. Instrumental parameters measured in these tests, such as noise temperature, bandwidth, radiometer isolation, and linearity, provide essential inputs to the Planck-LFI data analysis.

description: We have selected a sample of 30 normal (non-cD) early type galaxies, for all of which optical spectroscopy is available, and which have been observed with Chandra to a depth such to insure the detection of bright low-mass X-ray binaries (LMXBs) with Lx>1e38 erg/s. This sample includes a larger fraction of gas-poor galaxies than previously studied samples, and covers a wide range of stellar luminosity, velocity dispersion, GC specific frequency, and stellar age. We derive X-ray luminosities (or upper limits) from the different significant X-ray components of these galaxies: nuclei, detected and undetected LMXBs, coronally active binaries (ABs), cataclysmic variables (CVs), and hot gas. The ABs and CVs contribution is estimated from the Lx-LK scaling relation of M31 and M32. The contribution of undetected LMXBs is estimated both by fitting the spectra of the unresolved X-ray emission and by extrapolating the LMXB X-ray luminosity function. The results for the nuclei are consistent with those discussed by Pellegrini (2010). We derive a revised scaling relation between the integrated X-ray luminosity of LMXBs in a galaxy and the LK luminosity of the host galaxy: Lx(LMXB)/LK ~ 1e29 erg s-1 LK-1 with 50% 1sigma rms; moreover, we also obtain a tighter LX(LMXB)/LK - SN relation than previously published. We revisit the relations between hot gas content and other galaxy parameters. finding a steeper LX(gas)-LK relation with larger scatter than reported in the literature. We find a positive correlation between the luminosity and temperature of the hot ISM, significantly tighter than reported by earlier studies.[abridged]

Magnetic properties of lightly doped antiferromagnetic YBa$_{2}$Cu$_{3}$O$_{y}$

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2011
Subjects: subject: Strongly Correlated Electrons (cond-mat.str-el)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The present work addresses YBa$_{2}$Cu$_{3}$O$_{y}$ at doping below x=6% where the compound is a collinear antiferromagnet. In this region YBa$_{2}$Cu$_{3}$O$_{y}$ is a normal conductor with a finite resistivity at zero temperature. The value of the staggered magnetization at zero temperature is 0.6μ_B, the maximum value allowed by spin quantum fluctuations. The staggered magnetization is almost independent of doping. On the other hand, the Neel temperature decays very quickly from T_N=420K at x=0 to practically zero at x = 0.06. The present paper explains these remarkable properties and demonstrates that the properties result from the physics of a lightly doped Mott insulator with small hole pockets. Nuclear quadrupole resonance data are also discussed. The data shed light on mechanisms of stability of the antiferromagnetic order at x < 6%.

description: By using Jackson's q-exponential function we introduce the generating function, the recursive formulas and the second order q-differential equation for the q-Hermite polynomials. This allows us to solve the q-heat equation in terms of q-Kampe de Feriet polynomials with arbitrary N moving zeroes, and to find operator solution for the Initial Value Problem for the q-heat equation. By the q-analog of the Cole-Hopf transformation we construct the q-Burgers type nonlinear heat equation with quadratic dispersion and the cubic nonlinearity. In q -> 1 limit it reduces to the standard Burgers equation. Exact solutions for the q-Burgers equation in the form of moving poles, singular and regular q-shock soliton solutions are found.

description: This paper offers a discussion on how to apply a service design technique to health care scenarios where positive service experiences are vital. When examining issues like patient compliance, applying techniques from the design world may afford health care providers with a clear visualization for understanding the patient’s perspective in interacting with their health care providers. Here we describe the Expressive Service Blueprinting method that links the patient’s journey with the actions and processes of the health care provider. The emotive responses of the patient as they progress through their journey are also reviewed as an element that augments the insight gained from constructing the blueprint.

MOVE will serve as an example on how Open Science principles can accelerate progress in science and foster collaboration. We present an update on the development of the infrastructure and community management plans for the MOVE project, hosted on the Open Science Framework (OSF) at https://osf.io/v4drt and on HelioCloud, a cloud analysis platform in development for Heliophysics. This presentation will be designed to collect feedback (e.g. via https://miro.com or https://padlet.com) on the specifics of the effort before the infrastructure capabilities and community management policies are finalized in the coming months. These components will include the code of conduct, licensing requirements for contributed data and software, technology capabilities desired (e.g. cloud computing), and other components and capabilities in development. We look forward to gathering feedback from the community on these developments.
Monitoring sleep and sleep breathing disorders using pulse oximeter photoplethysmogram
Creators: name: Kheirkhah Dehkordi, Parastoo
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2018

description: We developed novel algorithms for monitoring sleep, sleep breathing disorder (SBD) and instantaneous respiratory rate (IRR) in children using the characterization of pulse oximetry photoplethysmogram (PPG). To evaluate the algorithms, we recorded the oxygen saturation (SpO₂) and PPG signals from 160 children using a phone-based oximeter consisting of a microcontroller-based pulse oximeter module interfacing a smartphone. This mobile oximeter was further developed to perform all processing on the smartphone through the audio interface. We evaluated the relative impact of SBD on sympathetic and parasympathetic activity in children through the characterization of PPG and concluded that sympathetic activity was higher in 30-second epochs with apnea/hypopnea event(s). We later characterized the SpO₂ pattern in SDB and then combined SpO₂ pattern characterization and PPG analysis to design a model with two binary logistic classifiers to identify the epochs with apnea/hypopnea events. We developed a novel model for identifying the cycles of random eye movement (REM) and non-REM of the overnight sleep based on the activity of cardiorespiratory system using the overnight PPG. We extracted the features associated with pulse rate variability (PRV), respiratory rate (RR), vascular tone and movement from PPG to build a model with two binary classifiers to identify wakefulness from sleep (wake/sleep classifier) and REM from non-REM sleep (non-REM/REM classifier). We also developed a novel algorithm for extracting the instantaneous respiratory rate (IRR) from PPG. The algorithm was performed in three steps: extraction of three respiratory-induced variation signals from PPG, estimation of IRR from each extracted respiratory-induced variation signal and fusion of IRR estimates. A time-frequency transform called synchrosqueezing transform (SST) was used to extract the respiratory-induced variation signals from PPG. Later, a second SST was applied to estimate IRR from respiratory-induced variation signals. To fuse IRR estimates, a novel algorithm was proposed. This study would expand the functionality of conventional pulse oximetry beyond the measurement of heart rate and SpO₂ to monitor sleep, to screen SBDs and measure the respiratory rate continuously and instantly.
Kinetic flux-vector splitting schemes for the hyperbolic heat conduction

description: A kinetic solver is developed for the initial and boundary value problems (IBVP) of the symmetric hyperbolic moment system. This nonlinear system of equations is related to the heat conduction in solids at low temperatures. The system consists of a conservation equation for the energy density e and a balance equation for the heat flux 혘푖, where 푒 and 혘푖 are the four basic fields of the theory. We use kinetic flux vector splitting (KFVS) scheme to solve these equations in one and two space dimensions. The flux vectors of the equations are splitted on the basis of the local equilibrium distribution of phonons. The resulting computational procedure is efficient and straightforward to implement. The second order accuracy of the scheme is acheived by using MUSCL-type reconstruction and min-mod nonlinear limitters. The solutions exhibit second order accuracy, and satisfactory resolution of gradients with no spurious oscillations. The secheme is extended to the two-dimensional case in a usual dimensionally split manner. In order to prescribe the boundary data we need the knowledge of the 푒 and 혘푖. However, in experiments only one of the quantities can be controlled at the boundary. This problem is removed by using a continuity condition. It turned out that after some short time energy and heat flux are related to each other according to Rankine Hugoniot jump relations. To illustrate the performance of the KFVS scheme, we perform several one- and two-dimensional test computations. For the comparison of our results we use high order central schemes. The present study demonstrates that this kinetic method is effective in handling such problems.

description: For any scientific report, repeating the original analyses upon the original data should yield the original outcomes. We evaluated analytic reproducibility in 25 Psychological Science articles awarded open data badges between 2014 and 2015. Initially, 16 (64%, 95% confidence interval [43,81]) articles contained at least one ‘major numerical discrepancy' (>10% difference) prompting us to request input from original authors. Ultimately, target values were reproducible without author involvement for 9 (36% [20,59]) articles; reproducible with author involvement for 6 (24% [8,47]) articles; not fully reproducible with no substantive author response for 3 (12% [0,35]) articles; and not fully reproducible despite author involvement for 7 (28% [12,51]) articles. Overall, 37 major numerical discrepancies remained out of 789 checked values (5% [3,6]), but original conclusions did not appear affected. Non-reproducibility was primarily caused by unclear reporting of analytic procedures. These results highlight that open data alone is not sufficient to ensure analytic reproducibility.

description: Neutron and x-ray powder and single crystal synchrotron diffraction of CsyFe2-xSe2 show the presence of superstructure reflections with propagation vector k=[2/5, 1/5, 1] with respect to the average crystal structure I4/mmm (a = 4, c = 15A). The propagation vector star corresponds to the 5 times bigger unit cell given by transformation A=2a+b, B= -a+2b, C= c. A solution for the atomic structure is found in the space groups P42/n and I4/m with an ordered pattern of iron vacancies corresponding to the iron deficiency x = 0.29 and Cs stoichiometry y = 0.83. The superstructure satellites are more pronounced in the neutron diffraction patterns suggesting that they can have some magnetic contribution. We have sorted out possible symmetry adapted magnetic configurations and found that the presence of AFM ordering with the ordered magnetic moment of Fe with 2μB does not contradict to the experimental data. However, the solutions space is highly degenerate and we cannot choose a specific solution. Instead we propose possible magnetic configurations with the Fe magnetic moments in (ab)-plane or along c-axis. The superstructure is destroyed above Ts ~ 500 K by a first-order-like transition.

description: This is an interim report to determine whether there are grade and quality differences in soybean shipments between U.S. origin and overseas destination. Conditions and grade standards are compared and other factors affecting the availability and suitability of U.S. soybeans are identified. This study quantifies the extent of soybean damage, with suggestions for its reduction. It describes specific handling and transport environments and operations that cause losses as soybeans are moved through the various marketing channels. Increasing demands by industry for this type of information prompted this study. Ten soybean shipments with 767 origin and 428 destination samples were found to be highly variable. The foreign material and the splits, or broken beans, were within the U.S. standards for grade 2 soybeans at both origin and destination. The data show an increase in foreign material and splits as the soybeans were moved from U.S. ports to overseas buyers. The foreign material variations may have been due to in-transit deterioration or to grading or sampling errors, or they may have been the natural result of sampling variations. Although the amount of foreign material in the shipments did not exceed the grade standards, more samples are needed to determine the amount at the export elevator, based on various sampling methods and modes of transport. The quality analyses of origin and destination samples were surprisingly similar for oil and protein content, averaging 20.7 percent of oil at origin and destination and 40.3 and 40.2 percent of protein at origin and destination, respectively. Gravity activated loading systems for moving soybeans caused less impact damage than pneumatic unloading systems. Overseas handling and unloading systems, including clam buckets, pneumatic suckers, and Vac-u-vators, damaged the soybeans when they were moved from the ship to the processor or end user. Charter rates to move 10 shipments to overseas destination were lower than conference rates because supply and demand were favorable in both the soybean and the shipping market. Soybean prices during this period were variable, with no apparent relationship to quality.

description: We study Fourier theory on quantum Euclidean space. A modified version of the general definition of the Fourier transform on a quantum space is used and its inverse is constructed. The Fourier transforms can be defined by their Bochner's relations and a new type of q-Hankel transforms using the first and second q-Bessel functions. The behavior of the Fourier transforms with respect to partial derivatives and multiplication with variables is studied. The Fourier transform acts between the two representation spaces for the harmonic oscillator on quantum Euclidean space. By using this property it is possible to define a Fourier transform on the entire Hilbert space of the harmonic oscillator, which is its own inverse and satisfies the Parseval theorem.

description: We demonstrate a scheme to utilize the stacked fishnet metamaterial for all-angle negative refraction and subwavelength imaging within a wide frequency range starting from zero frequency. The theoretical predictions are verified by the finite-difference-in-time-domain (FDTD) numerical simulations. The phenomena come from the negative evanescent coupling between the adjacent slab waveguides through the breathing air holes perforated on metal layers.

description: Angular momentum loss through magnetic braking drives the spin-down of low-mass stars and the orbital evolution of various close binary systems. Current theories for magnetic braking, often calibrated for specific types of systems, predict angular momentum loss rates that differ by several orders of magnitude. A unified prescription would provide valuable constraints on the relationship between angular momentum loss, stellar dynamos, and magnetic activity. Recent studies have shown that a saturated, boosted, and disrupted (SBD) magnetic braking prescription can explain the observed increase in the fraction of close white dwarf plus M-dwarf binaries at the fully convective boundary, the period distribution of main-sequence binaries, and the mass distribution of close M-dwarf companions to hot subdwarfs. To analyze whether this prescription also applies to related binaries, we investigated the evolution of cataclysmic variables (CVs) using the SBD magnetic braking model. We implemented the SBD prescription into the stellar evolution code MESA and simulated CV evolution, testing different values for the boosting and disruption parameters over a range of stellar properties. Our model reproduces the observed mass transfer rates and donor mass-radius relation with good accuracy. The evolutionary tracks match the observed boundaries of the orbital period gap and the period minimum for values of boosting and disruption slightly smaller but still consistent with those derived from detached binaries. Angular momentum loss through SBD magnetic braking can explain not only detached binaries but also cataclysmic variables, making it the only current prescription suitable for multiple types of close binary stars. Further testing in other systems is needed, and the semi-empirical convective turnover times currently used for main-sequence stars should be replaced with self-consistent values.

description: This paper examines consumers’ responses to reduced personal space in a service setting. It describes two studies that investigate how users respond to restaurant tables spaced closely together. The first study evaluated consumers’ emotional responses to a projected dining experience when dining tables were spaced at one of three distances, and found that diners strongly object to closely spaced tables in the abstract. The second study tested responses to specific inter-table distances during actual dining experiences in a restaurant. Findings suggest that consumers in a real environment are less sensitive to reduced personal space than they are when asked about their feelings toward inter-table space before the service takes place. The results from this research will enhance the understanding of personal space preferences and behaviors in public spaces and may influence the design of service environments.

Investigating the role of Alzheimer's disease-associated presenilin mutations in olfactory deficits
Creators: name: Parvand, Mahraz
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2020

description: Although olfactory dysfunction is one of the hallmark symptoms in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) prior to the onset of cognitive impairments, little is known about the causes of this dysfunction. The nematode Caenorhabditis elegans is an ideal model for system-level genetic understanding of sensory neural circuits and behavior. Many cases of familial AD are linked to mutations of the presenilin (PS) genes. These genes are homologues with sel-12 genes in C. elegans. The purpose of this project was to examine the association between PS1 and olfactory deficits in order to investigate the cellular mechanism of these dementia-linked deficits. To gain a better understanding of the relationship between presenilin 1 (PS1) mutations in AD and olfactory deficits, chemotaxis experiments (with the attractant diacetyl, and the aversive octanol) were conducted on worms with a mutation in sel-12. I found that adult sel-12 mutant worms had a significantly decreased sensitivity to both odorants compared to wild-type worms. Extrachromosomal array expression of human wild-type PS1 into C. elegans rescued olfactory defects, confirming functional homology between the C. elegans and human gene. However, a PS1 mutant from an Alzheimer’s family was unable to rescue olfactory deficits. Moreover, C. elegans sel-12 mutant worms presented olfactory deficits throughout their lifespan, and the deficit increased with age, similar to the neurodegenerative progression of AD. Based on these data, I concluded that a mutation in the C. elegans homologue of PS1 is associated with decreased olfactory function, and this deficit was rescued by wild-type human PS1 gene. I suggest that altered functioning of the Notch pathway may be involved in these chemosensory deficits. Additionally, to localize the neuron(s) where wild-type sel-12 function is required for normal olfaction, sel-12 and PS1 rescues were conducted in specific sensory neurons, namely the ASH and the AWA neurons responsible for detecting octanol and diacetyl, respectively. Further, an examination of the morphology of the ASH neurons showed increased neurodegeneration over time in sel-12 mutant worms, demonstrating an association with the observed behavioral deficits.

description: Neutral sodium is a minority species in the atmospheres of late-type stars, and line formation in local thermodynamic equilibrium (LTE) is often a poor assumption, in particular for strong lines. We present an extensive grid of non-LTE calculations for several NaI lines in cool stellar atmospheres, including metal-rich and metal-poor dwarfs and giants. For the first time, we constructed a Na model atom that incorporates accurate quantum mechanical calculations for collisional excitation and ionisation by electrons as well as collisional excitation and charge exchange reactions with neutral hydrogen. Similar to LiI, the new rates for hydrogen impact excitation do not affect the statistical equilibrium calculations, while charge exchange reactions have a small but non-negligible influence. The presented LTE and non-LTE curves-of-growth can be interpolated to obtain non-LTE abundances and abundance corrections for arbitrary stellar parameter combinations and line strengths. The typical corrections for weak lines are -0.1...-0.2dex, whereas saturated lines may overestimate the abundance in LTE by more than 0.5dex. The non-LTE Na abundances appear very robust with respect to uncertainties in the input collisional data.

description: Представленное исследование посвящено анализу взглядов марксистов на будущее права. В статье исследуются взгляды Фридриха Энгельса на предмет понимания права, изложенные им в работе «Юридический социализм». В данной работе Ф. Энгельс предвосхищает развитие теологического правопонимания, свойственного для всех европейских стран, объединённых католицизмом. В ходе настоящего исследования автор приходит к выводу, что основоположники марксизма не утверждали, что в следующей после капиталистической общественно-экономической формации не будет права, они только констатировали, что там точно не будет буржуазного права. Данное видение взглядов марксистов в корне меняет представление о марксистской концепции будущего права, сложившееся в отечественной науке.
