Subjects: rhotic, tap, vocoid, acoustic, articulatory, prosodic position, Greek

description: Our previous work on the Greek rhotic in several positions has shown that it is typically articulated with a single constriction of short duration and a vocoid. In this study, we examine the rhotic in a new position, i.e. domain-final singleton /r/ in three prosodic positions (utterance-final, phrase-final, phrase-medial). Analyses included articulatory examination of the place and degree of constriction of the rhotic, variability due to context, acoustic duration of the constriction and vocoid phases, F1, F2 formants of the nuclear vowel and the vocoid, and classification of the constriction and vocoid on the basis of acoustic and articulatory characteristics observed in their production. A single constriction was found in the majority of tokens followed by a vocoid in all prosodic positions, typically with longer duration than the constriction. The formant structure at the vocoid mid-point was more centralised than that of the nuclear vowel. Prosodic position affected several acoustic and articulatory parameters of the constriction and the vocoid. Results are discussed in relation to accounts of articulatory weakening vs. strengthening at the edges of different prosodic domains.

description: The present study examines the role of semantic transparency in early visual word recognition, with regard to Modern Greek derivational morphology. We conducted a masked priming lexical decision experiment, comparing morphologically related prime-target pairs in three semantic transparency conditions (i.e., opaque, semitransparent, transparent). Statistical analyses revealed significant priming of the same magnitude among conditions, irrespective of semantic transparency. Results point to an early morpho-orthographic decomposition process that is semantically blind and applies to all apparently derived words on the basis of their surface morphological structure. Thus, we suggest a form-then-meaning account of morphological processing.

description: We have constructed a sample of 386 radio-loud quasars with z < 0.75 from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey in order to investigate orientation effects on black hole mass estimates. Orientation is estimated using radio core dominance measurements based on FIRST survey maps. Black hole masses are estimated from virial-based scaling relationships using H-beta, and compared to the stellar velocity dispersion (sigma_*), predicted using the Full Width at Half Maximum (FWHM) of [O III] 5007, which tracks mass via the M-sigma_* relation. We find that the FWHM of Hbeta correlates significantly with radio core dominance and biases black hole mass determinations that use it, but that this is not the case for sigma_* based on [O III] 5007. The ratio of black hole masses predicted using orientation-biased and unbiased estimates, which can be determined for radio-quiet as well as radio-loud quasars, is significantly correlated with radio core dominance. Although there is significant scatter, this mass ratio calculated in this way may in fact serve as an orientation estimator. We additionally note the existence of a small population radio core-dominated quasars with extremely broad H-beta emission lines that we hypothesise may represent recent black hole mergers.

EVALUATION OF A COMPREHENSIVE DISCHARGE PLANNING PROGRAM FOR YOUNG CHILDREN WITH NEWLY PLACE TRACHEOSTOMY TUBES

description: Infants and children with newly placed tracheostomies present unique challenges for healthcare providers coordinating hospital discharge. Parental education and discharge planning needs can be complex; disease, parental, societal and healthcare related factors can create barriers prolonging hospitalization beyond medical readiness for discharge. I conducted a retrospective chart review to examine the effectiveness of the discharge process, including staff and family education, for 69 children less than 3 years of age who underwent tracheotomy at North Carolina Children’s Hospital over a 4 year period. Children enrolled in the study had an overall mean length of hospital stay following tracheotomy of 44 days. The median length of stay (LOS) was 28 days with a minimum stay of 4 days and a maximum stay of 203 days. The LOS was < 44 days for 49 (71.0%) of the children. Barriers to timely discharge were present for all of the 20 (29.0%) of children with LOS > 44 days. This study demonstrates that a highly structured, multidisciplinary approach to tracheostomy education and discharge planning may reduce LOS following tracheotomy. More importantly, this paper shows that early identification of factors prolonging length of stay, adaptation to changing parental needs for education and support, and the establishment of trusting relationships between healthcare providers and families may reduce the impact of some barriers that prevent timely hospital discharge for children undergoing tracheostomy placement.

Idiomatic reduplicative imperatives in Greek
Creators: name: Oikonomou, Despina
Publisher: name: Selected papers on theoretical and applied linguistics
Year: 2023
Subjects: non-canonical imperatives, reduplication, iterative aspect, temporal precedence, free adjuncts

description: This paper discusses Reduplicated Imperatives (RIs) which, unlike canonical imperatives, do not have a directive function and they are dependent on a matrix clause for which they provide explanation. Building on Kallergi (2013), I present the basic morpho-syntactic properties of this construction and its relation with the matrix clause. RIs are treated as propositional non-at-issue modifiers. They presuppose that the RI-eventuality temporally precedes the eventuality described by the main predicate. The causal/explanation link between the RI and the matrix clause is inferred due to the temporal precedence relation and the iterative interpretation of the RI.

Weak Cosmic Censorship, Superradiance and Quantum Particle Creation

subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Since 1970's, gedanken experiments have been devised to challenge the weak cosmic censorship conjecture (WCCC), which is the expectation that spacetime singularities will be hidden from faraway observers by event horizons so that classical predictability in a spacetime is preserved. These experiments involve the interaction of an extremal or a slightly sub-extremal black hole with a test particle or field, attempting to destroy the horizon, i.e. to create a so-called naked singularity. They usually conclude that WCCC cannot be violated starting from an extremal black hole, but may be violated starting from a slightly sub-extremal one, if backreaction and self-force effects are neglected. Some other works also analyze these effects. Starting 2007, a string of papers argue if WCCC can be violated by classically forbidden interactions occuring via the quantum nature of the particles associated with the fields; and where backrection and/or superradiance are pointed out as effects working in the direction of preserving the WCCC. We correct/modify a backrection argument, and furthermore point out that superradiance does not prevent {\em single particles} from being captured by the black hole; even if this capture would lead to WCCC violation. Then we consider the spontaneous emission (which we call the Zel'dovich-Unruh effect) of particles by the black hole, and find that at least for scalars, it can be understood without second quantization. It also completely invalidates the mentioned single- or few-particle thought experiments. However, the conclusions of our previous work on (at least) scalar fields interacting with black holes, i.e. that WCCC may be violated starting from slightly subextremal black holes, remains valid in this (semi)classical framework.

Public Health Model of Injury Prevention: Practical Application in the Environmental Drilling Industry
Creators: name: Ibe, Ngozi
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2009

description: According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) the environmental water well drilling industry averaged 10 fatalities per year between 1990 and 1997. Recent BLS data suggests that similar statistics are true today. Current industry health and safety practices include Risk Assessment and Risk Management. These practices lack much of the research and data required to design and implement successful injury prevention strategies. The Public Health Model of Injury Prevention (PHMIP) is a tool which, when used appropriately, creates effective injury prevention strategies which can be implemented on an industrywide basis. The PHMIP can be used alongside existing health and safety practices in the environmental drilling industry to greatly reduce the number of fatal and nonfatal injuries that occur. Components of the model include Surveillance, Risk Factor Identification, Intervention Development and Evaluation, and Implementation. It is critical that all four components be implemented as they must work together to create successful injury prevention strategies. Limitations to the model exist and should be taken into consideration during its application. One limitation is that the model relies on data from injuries that have already occurred. Would it not be better to prevent these injuries from ever occurring? Another problem is the cost of collecting and analyzing data as well as designing and implementing certain injury prevention strategies. Careful budgetary review should be conducted prior to implementing the model. Additionally, organizational management may present some barriers to using the model. There needs to be complete buy-in from management or injury prevention efforts will fail at the workers level. A review of literature indicates that the PHMIP is being used sporadically across the industry however wider and more consistent application is necessary to achieve measurable results in injury prevention. Wider dissemination of information on the PHMIP will serve to increase awareness amongst industry leaders and foster dialogue that will stimulate further interest in proactively preventing injuries in the drilling industry.

description: Omicron.BA.5.2.1毒株的分子生物学计算分析报告 赵盛烨，2022年8月31日
 实验运用分子生物学原理，使用计算机工具，对新冠病毒原始毒株和新冠病毒最新流行毒株进行基因序列比对，从而得出相应的结论和推断，为防疫工作提供建议意见。
 1.实验方法过程 使用两种毒株的RNA序列进行计算机比较研究，找到变异点位，再寻找变异集中区域，再寻找变异集中区域对应的蛋白质属性，从而得出相应的结论。全部工作均在NCBI数据库进行。 第一步，找到最原始毒株的RNA序列长度为29903（NCBI Reference Sequence: NC_045512.2，如附件1所示）； 第二步，找到最新流行毒株SARS-Cov-2.Omicron.BA.5.2.1(BF.15)的RNA序列长度为29614（GenBank: OP335885.1，如附件2所示）； 第三步，使用Global Align（序列比较）功能进行计算机比对，总体相似度为99%，发现了73处变异点位； 第四步，人工寻找变异点位集中的区域，发现有一处约500个碱基范围内（处于22464-23003位置）发生了13处变异，较为集中（如附件3所示）； 第五步，取出集中变异区域进行蛋白质查询，发现是S1蛋白的基因序列（如附件4所示）。
 2.比对结论 （1）计算机实验证明了深圳流行的BF.15毒株（SARS-Cov-2.Omicron.BA.5.2.1的子毒株）具有突破mRNA疫苗保护的更强能力，是一种在普遍疫苗保护下进化出来的抗mRNA疫苗病毒毒株。 （2）由于S1蛋白的改变，接种mRNA疫苗的人体可能很难识别出该毒株，因此可能会出现ADE反应，或体现出致死率更高的情况。 （3）该毒株的其它变异点位并不集中，灭活疫苗依然能够提供较为有效的保护能力。 （4）该毒株并没有发生巨大的基因减材（缺失）变异，因此病毒的致病性应当与原始毒株相当，对未接种人体具有较强的肺炎致病性。 （5）在灭活疫苗的保护下，该毒株的多数感染患者依然会体现出无症状现象。
 3.建议意见 接种疫苗的目的是保护高危人群，如果想尽快通过物理隔离的方式终止该毒株的流行，则在计算机算法当中需要保证大于50%的人群未接种疫苗，这部分人群抗病能力强，与接种疫苗的高危人群在社会当中共同生活，作为病毒探针存在，当发现症状时应立即隔离、立即防控。这种方式要好于社会中充斥着无症状患者，后者会让病毒变得难以追踪、难以扑灭，这也是朝鲜在疫情感染之后得以迅速扑灭的最根本原因。

description: We present splitting functions in the triple collinear limit at next-to-leading order in the strong coupling. We performed the computation in the context of massless QCD+QED, and consider first collinear processes which include at least one photon. The IR divergent structure of the multi-partonic splitting functions agrees with the Catani's formula. Consistency checks based on symmetry arguments have been implemented and results for different configurations have been cross-checked. Studying photon-started processes, we obtained very compact results: this allowed us to simplify the expressions for the remaining splitting functions.

description: NEANIAS is an ambitious project that comprehensively addresses the ‘Prototyping New Innovative Services’ challenge set out in the recent ‘Roadmap for EOSC’ foreseen actions. NEANIAS will drive the co-design, delivery, and integration into EOSC of innovative thematic services, derived from state-of-the-art research assets and practices in three major sectors: underwater research, atmospheric research and space research. Each of these sectors considers a diverse set of research and business groups, practices, and technologies. Each thematic service will not only address its community-specific needs but will also enable the transition of the respective community to the EOSC concept and Open Science principles. In doing so, NEANIAS provides its communities with plentiful resource access, collaboration instruments, and interdisciplinary research mechanisms, which will amplify and broaden each community’s research and knowledge generation activities.
 As stated above, one of the key tasks in the project is to communicate and disseminate the developments, outputs and benefits of NEANIAS to a wide spectrum of stakeholders in order to get their involvement and engagement, facilitating so the achievement of the objectives set. This task must be implemented taking into account different profiles, needs, interests, areas of application and each kind of relationship with the project.
 This document is a reviewed and improved version of the first report already submitted as “Deliverable D10.1 Communication, Dissemination, Outreach and Engagement Plan (Draft)” on the 2nd month of the project and aimed to define the project Communication, Dissemination and Outreach goals and to describe the overall plan for the entire project duration.
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD): Prevalence and Diagnosis in Outpatient Gynecology
Creators: name: Meltzer-Brody, Samantha, M.D.
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2002

description: Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is an often debilitating form of anxiety disorder triggered by personal experience of a serious trauma. Women are more than twice as likely as men to develop PTSD. Though one in four women exposed to a traumatic event develops PTSD, no brief tools are available to facilitate identification of PTSD in primary care settings. Our objectives were: 1) to document the prevalence of a history of serious trauma among women seeking routine annual gynecologic care in an academic continuity care setting, and; 2) to evaluate a brief 4-item instrument assessing PTSD symptoms, called the SPAN, as a potential tool for triaging women with a history of trauma for further evaluation. We conducted a cross-sectional survey of English-speaking women scheduled for annual care visits over a 9-month period; and conducted structured clinical interviews as a gold-standard for PTSD diagnosis among a sample of women who reported a history of trauma. The interviewer was blind to SPAN scores. Seventy-six percent of annual care patients (n=292) completed the written survey while waiting for their visit. Ninety women (31%) reported a history of one or more traumatic events including rape, sexual assault, physical assault, and severe motor vehicle accidents. Average age was 34 years, 49% were African American, and 46% were unmarried. Among the 90 women with a history of trauma, 63 agreed to be contacted and we were able to complete the psychiatric assessment for 32. In this convenience sample of 32 women, 25 (78%) met criteria for current PTSD, and 31 of 32 met criteria for other psychiatric comorbidity. Additionally, 68% were not receiving any psychiatric care. Compared to the gold standard for PTSD, SPAN had a sensitivity of 72%, specificity of 74%, positive predictive value of 90% and likelihood ratio of 2.52. Trauma was common in this population. Including a trauma screening question and the SPAN items on written clinic intake surveys has promise for use as a triage tool. Use could meaningfully increase detection of PTSD and other psychiatric morbidity among women receiving routine preventive care.

description: The status of preverbal subjects in Greek, i.e. whether they occupy an A-position in the T-domain (Roussou Tsimpli 2006; Sifaki 2004; Spyropoulos Revithiadou 2009) or they are left-dislocated at the C-domain (Alexiadou Anagnostopoulou 1998; Anagnostopoulou 1994; Kotzoglou 2013; Philippaki-Warburton 1985, 1989; Tsimpli 1990) is controversial. In this work, we investigate the availability of inverse scope in default-SVO and Clitic Left Dislocation showing that there is a clear-cut contrast between the two. We analyse the preverbal subject as being at the T-domain but with discourse (δ)-features in the sense of Miyagawa (2009), instead of inflectional φ-features.

description: On-shell helicity methods provide powerful tools for determining scattering amplitudes, which have a one-to-one correspondence with leading power helicity operators in the Soft-Collinear Effective Theory (SCET) away from singular regions of phase space. We show that helicity based operators are also useful for enumerating power suppressed SCET operators, which encode subleading amplitude information about singular limits. In particular, we present a complete set of scalar helicity building blocks that are valid for constructing operators at any order in the SCET power expansion. We also describe an interesting angular momentum selection rule that restricts how these building blocks can be assembled.

description: The present study explores verbal morphology in adult heritage Greek. In an oral elicitation task, Greek monolinguals and Heritage Speakers (HSs) in Germany exhibited ceiling performance in aspectual marking, while HSs in the US were significantly less accurate. In speeded grammaticality judgements, similar results were obtained for the grammatical conditions as in the elicitation task. In ungrammatical conditions, accuracy was overall affected. HSs-US were less accurate with the perfective form, which is morphologically more complex than the imperfective form, and hours of education in Greek was a reliable predictor. Finally, HSs produced novel forms in the past tense by treating monosyllable-stems of Conjugation A similarly to Conjugation B.

description: AbstractPurpose of Project: Insufficient knowledge, structural barriers, and negative attitudes hinder clinicians from using harm-reduction strategies when treating dually diagnosed patients. The project was to determine if implementing an education intervention about harm reduction strategies for dually diagnosed patients would impact clinicians’ knowledge and the integration of motivational interviewing into their current practice. Methodology: A quantitative methodology with a quasi-experimental design was used for pre-and post-data. The setting was remote at a private psychiatric clinic in New Jersey. The outcome measured was the providers’ acceptability of harm reduction strategies when treating patients with psychological and substance use disorders. The project intervention included education about motivational interviewing strategies in dually diagnosed patients. Data were collected during pre- and post-implementation using the Harm Reduction Acceptability Scale questionnaire over 12 weeks.Results: 19 registered nurses, nurse practitioners, psychiatrists, and therapists participated. A .05 level of significance was used to determine the statistical significance of the paired t-test results. At α = 0.05, paired sample t-test results indicated a statistically significant change in participants’ knowledge and acceptance scores at baseline (M = 62.89, SD = 6.505) and after the intervention implementation (M = 73.05, SD = 5749). The education effectively improved participants' knowledge and acceptability of harm reduction. Implications for Practice: Harm reduction strategies should be integrated into practice sites to improve provider knowledge and enhance care provision for dually diagnosed patients. Education intervention support health care providers in initiating empathetically supportive conversations on substance use and related life events with dually diagnosed patients using motivational interviewing. This will result in relapse prevention, abstinence maintenance, and reduced healthcare costs. Healthcare policy to implement harm reduction as the standard of practice due to its cost-effectiveness.

description: The development of technology was the factor that helped textual genres to enter the field of teaching. Τhe so-called ‘multimodal texts’ use a combination of modes such as speech, image, sound, movement, rhythm etc. to create a complex whole. These texts are very common in teaching of Modern Greek as a second/foreign language, because they present the language material with a very pleasant and creative way. This paper presents activities that use multimodal texts (comics, commercial and video clip) for the development of narrative skills, specifically the narration of a story at the base of narrative structure by adult students who are taught Modern Greek as a second/foreign language.

English (non)-finiteness: Morphology and syntax
Creators: name: Roussou, Anna
Publisher: name: Selected papers on theoretical and applied linguistics
Year: 2023
Subjects: (non-)finite, past participle, passive participle, perfective, voice

description: The present paper argues that the ‘past’ and ‘passive’ participles in English are unified as aspectual (+perfective) forms. Their different readings arise due to the syntactic embedding under different auxiliaries, namely, have vs be accordingly. Following the same line of reasoning, the -ed inflection, which realizes the ‘past’ tense vs the ‘participle’ is also reduced to a +perfective specification. In the latter case, in the absence of any auxiliary the clause is construed as finite with a +past tense specification. This approach offers a different categorization of the inflectional verbal morphology in English, opening up the possibility of treating the -ed and -ing affixes as aspectual markers (perfective and progressive respectively), while the bare stem is aspectually neutral.

description: We examine one asymmetric adnd two fully symmetric Gaussian continuous-variable systems in terms of their tripartite and bipartite entanglement properties. We treat pure states and are able to find analytic solutions using the undepleted pump approximation for the Hamiltonian models, and standard beamsplitter relations for a model that mixes the outputs of optical parametric oscillators. Our two symmetric systems exhibit perfect tripartite correlations, but only in the unphysical limit of infinite squeezing. For more realistic squeezing parameters, all three systems exhibit both tripartite and bipartite entanglement. We conclude that none of the outputs are completely analogous to either GHZ or W states, but there are parameter regions where they produce T states introduced by Adesso \etal The qualitative differences in the output states for different interaction parameters indicate that continuous-variable tripartite quantum information systems offer a versatility not found in bipartite systems.

A Survey of School Health Advisory Councils in North Carolina
Creators: name: Pratt, Mary Franklyn

description: Research as shown that healthy students are more successful academically; therefore, school systems have a stake in doing whatever is possible to increase their chances of having a healthy student population. Initially, school health programs were begun to stop the spread of communicable disease and to focus on health conditions brought on by poverty and malnutrition of immigrants. While these issues continue to be a part of school health programs, today the major threats to the health of school children are the result of lifestyle choices and high risk behaviors. Schools need to partner with parents, teachers, healthcare providers, community leaders, and the students themselves to create and maintain a healthy school community. Rather than fragmented, piecemeal solutions, efforts to improve the health of the school community need to be coordinated and include all relevant stakeholders. Recent federal and state legislation has mandated the development of School Health Advisory Councils (SHACs) to oversee Coordinated School Health Programs in each school district by the start of the 2006-05-2007 school year. A survey of school districts in North Carolina demonstrates that, although most have begun the process, there are significant disparities among existing School Health Advisory Councils. Areas of future study might include comparisons of SHAC development in urban vs. rural districts, poor vs. affluent districts, and the impact of the school nurse to student ratio on SHAC effectiveness.

description: This paper aims at exploring the impact of integrating video-based activities into English as a foreign language (EFL) instruction on enhancing Greek EFL learners’ speaking skills. The researcher designed video-based lessons for A1-C2 levels and uploaded the material to the educational platform Edmodo in order to further examine to what extent the participating teachers perceive Edmodo as a community of practice that can contribute to their professional development. The instruments used to collect the data were an online questionnaire, unstructured discussions on Edmodo and at the language school (frontistirio), as well as a short interview. 15 colleagues of the researcher participated in the study with the research findings revealing that the majority of them had a positive attitude towards the integration of video-based activities into speaking lessons and the use of Edmodo.

description: The phenomenological analysis of various characteristics of $J/ψ$ and $D$ meson production in PbPb collisions at the center-of-mass energy 2.76 TeV per nucleon pair is presented. The data on momentum spectra and elliptic flow are reproduced by two-component model HYDJET++ including thermal and non-thermal charm production mechanisms. The significant part of $D$-mesons is found to be in a kinetic equilibrium with the created medium, while $J/ψ$-mesons are characterized by earlier (as compared to light hadrons) freeze-out.

Subjects: disjunction, conjunction, scalar implicatures, logical operators

description: The present study aims to shed light on children’s understanding of the logical operators OR, EITHER-OR, AND and NEITHER-NOR (i.e. not-AND) in Greek. While the cross-linguistic evidence regarding the first two operators shows a deviation from adult’s grammar, the study of the development of AND and not-AND has attracted limited attention so far. Our study’s objectives are to define the level of children’s comprehension for each of the aforementioned operators, search for potential interdependencies among them and inspect the semantics and the pragmatics factors which may affect children’s learnability process.

A pseudobinary approach in multicomponent interdiffusion
Creators: name: Paul, Aloke
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2015
Subjects: subject: Materials Science (cond-mat.mtrl-sci)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Interdiffusion studies become increasingly difficult to perform with the increasing number of elements in a system. It is rather easy to calculate the interdiffusion coefficients for all the compositions in the interdiffusion zone in a binary system. The intrinsic diffusion coefficients can be calculated for the composition of Kirkendall marker plane in a binary system. In a ternary system, however, the interdiffusion coefficients can only be calculated for the composition where composition profiles from two different diffusion couples intersect. Intrinsic diffusion coefficients are possible to calculate when the Kirkendall markers are also present at that composition, which is a condition that is generally difficult to satisfy. In a quaternary system, the composition profiles for three different diffusion couples must intersect at one particular composition to calculate the diffusion parameters, which is a condition that is almost impossible to satisfy. To avoid these complications in a multicomponent system, the average interdiffusion coefficients are calculated. I propose a method of calculating the intrinsic diffusion coefficients and the variation in the interdiffusion coefficients for multicomponent systems. This method can be used for a single diffusion couple in a multicomponent pseudobinary system. The compositions of the end members of a diffusion couple should be selected such that only two elements diffuse into the interdiffusion zone. A few hypothetical diffusion couples are considered in order to validate and explain our method. Various sources of error in the calculations are also discussed.
