description: This 4-H case study takes place in a psychiatric residential treatment facility (PRTF) in Kentucky. The PRTF provides clinical services to youth that are not able to be safely maintained in their homes due to having demonstrated unsafe or harmful behaviors. Youth admitted to the PRTF stay for an average of three to six months while they receive intensive therapeutic and psychiatric care as well as medical treatment and public schooling. The current case study incorporates programming from 4-H, which is the youth development program of the Cooperative Extension System (CES) and the National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA), U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), into the treatment plans of four PRTF youth. The four-week 4-H program was facilitated by 4-H personnel who adhered to the principles of positive youth development and the Circle of Courage model (Brendtro, Brokenleg, & Van Bockern, 2014). The primary aims of this study were to assess the impact of 4-H youth development programming within a PRTF setting and to demonstrate how the Circle of Courage can be applied to PRTF programming to promote positive youth development. Qualitative findings suggest significant shifts in participants’ understandings of the Circle of Courage constructs following their 4-H participation.

description: Recurrent novae are binary stars in which a white dwarf accretes matter from a less evolved companion, either a red giant or a main-sequence star. They have dramatic optical brightenings of around 5-6 mag in V in less than a day, several times a century. These occur at variable and unpredictable intervals, and are followed by an optical decline over several weeks, and activity from the X-ray to the radio. The unpredictability of recurrent novae and related stellar types can hamper systematic study of their outbursts. Here we analyse the long-term lightcurve of RS Ophiuchi, a recurrent nova with six confirmed outbursts, most recently in 2006 February. We confirm the previously suspected 1945 outburst, largely obscured in a seasonal gap. We also find a signal via wavelet analysis that can be used to predict an incipient outburst up to a few hundred days before hand. This has never before been possible. In addition this may suggest that the preferred thermonuclear runaway mechanism for the outbursts will have to be modified, as no pre-outburst signal is anticipated in that case. If our result indeed points to gaps in our understanding of how outbursts are driven, we will need to study such objects carefully to determine if the white dwarf is growing in mass, an essential factor if these systems are to become Type Ia Supernovae. Determining the likelihood of recurrent novae being an important source population will have implications for stellar and galaxy evolution.

description: D. hipponax Gray, 1835 This species was described based only on its type specimens, which Westwood (1859) confirmed to be lost. Di. hipponax was supposed to have been included in the personal collection of Westwood. The description of the species is only three lines long, and mostly describe the coloration of the body and a few spines. With this low amount of information, it is impossible to identify any possible specimen from the species or elect a neotype for analysis. Due the lack of any reliable taxonomic criteria for identification, Di. hipponax is therefore excluded from the taxonomic revision.

description: BiFeO3 thin films were grown on Pt/c-sapphire substrates by pulsed laser deposition with different growth rates. With increasing growth rate the leakage current is decreased and the conduction mechanism changes from bulk-limited Poole-Frenkel emission to interface-limited Schottky emission. In the present work, we show that only the growth rate of the BiFeO3 films close to the metal contacts has to be increased in order to reduce the leakage current and to observe saturated polarization-electric field hysteresis loops.

Optimal shade distribution technique to mitigate partial shading effects in photovoltaic systems
Creators: name: Aliaslkhiabani, Mahdieh
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2018

description: Partial Shading (PS) critically reduces the maximum power extractable from a photovoltaic (PV) array, decreasing its efficiency, and creating multiple local peaks (LP) in the characteristic P-V curve of the array. Currently, the electrical connection that minimizes the power loss is the Total Cross Tied (TCT) connection, where each panel in a string is connected in parallel to the all the other panels in the same row, creating an electrical matrix connection. Although the TCT connection reduces part of the problem, it is still sensitive to several shaded panels in the same row constraining the current. In this thesis, a new technique to reduce the consequences of mismatch conditions by optimally distributing the shade over the entire array while maintaining the TCT connection is presented. The proposed method is dubbed “Shade Dispenser” (SD), as it takes a physical shade covering adjacent cells and electrically dispenses it minimizing the occurrence of same-row shades. The physical separation of electrically connected PV panels comes at a cost: it increases the wiring cost and power losses of the array. This trade-off is explored in the proposed paper, outlining the solution for each array size. As a result, this technique represents a considerable reduction in the effects of PS while minimizing wiring losses and costs. The performance of the system is investigated under different shading patterns and compared with the most efficient existing interconnection schemes. Simulation results confirm that not only is the efficiency of the proposed strategy higher, but the payback time for overhead wiring cost is lower. Moreover, this method diminishes the number of Local Peaks (LP) in the P-V curve of the array.

description: The elements of the quantum mechanical diffusion matrix, leading to a Gibbs equilibrium state for a set of $N$ coupled quantum harmonic oscillators are derived within Lindblad's axiomatic approach. Consequences of the fundamental constraints on the quantum friction coefficients are discussed. We derive the equations of motion for the expectation values and variances, and we solve them analytically. We apply our results to the description of the charge and mass asymmetry coordinates in heavy-ion collisions, and we investigate the effect of dissipation on tunneling in sub-barrier processes.

description: Background:
The modality of transport to the emergency department has implications for triage, evaluation, and treatment of patients with stroke. We performed this study to determine the national trends in modes of arrival in patients with stroke and its association with emergency department evaluation in a nationally representative sample of United States.
Methods:
We used the data from the National Hospital Ambulatory Medical Care Survey (NHAMCS). The NHAMC is one of the largest studies designed to provide utilization and provision of services in hospital emergency departments (ED). Patients were categorized into three modes of arrival: 1) ambulance, either air or ground; 2) walk-in, this include car, taxi, bus, or foot; and 3) public services such as police car or social service vehicle/Unknown.

description: Wildlife disease incidence is increasing, resulting in negative impacts on the economy, biodiversity, and potentially human health. Chronic wasting disease (CWD) is a fatal, transmissible spongiform encephalopathy of cervids (wild and captive) which continues to spread geographically resulting in exposure to potential new host species. The disease agent (PrPCWD) is a misfolded conformer of the cellular prion protein (PrPC). In Canada, the disease is endemic in Alberta and Saskatchewan, affecting mule and white-tail deer, with lesser impact on elk and moose. As the disease continues to expand, additional wild ungulate species including bison, bighorn sheep, mountain goat, and pronghorn antelope may be exposed. To better understand the species-barrier, we reviewed the current literature on taxa naturally or experimentally exposed to CWD to identify susceptible and resistant species. We created a phylogeny of these taxa using cytochrome B and found that CWD susceptibility followed the species phylogeny. Using this phylogeny we estimated the probability of CWD susceptibility for wild ungulate species. We then compared PrPC amino acid polymorphisms among these species to identify which sites segregated between susceptible and resistant species. We identified sites that were significantly associated with susceptibility, but they were not fully discriminating. Finally, we sequenced Prnp from 578 wild ungulates to further evaluate their potential susceptibility. Together, these data suggest the host-range for CWD will potentially include pronghorn, mountain goat and bighorn sheep, but bison are likely to be more resistant. These findings highlight the need for monitoring potentially susceptible species as CWD continues to expand.

description: The real-time quaking-induced conversion (RT-QuIC) reaction is a sensitive and specific method for detecting prions. However, inhibitory factors present in tissue homogenates can easily interfere with this reaction. To identify the RT-QuIC condition under which low levels of chronic wasting disease (CWD) and bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) prions can be detected in the presence of high concentrations of brain tissue homogenates, reactivities of various recombinant prion proteins (rPrPs) were tested. Among the tested rPrPs, recombinant cervid PrP (rCerPrP) showed a unique reactivity: the reactivity of rCerPrP to CWD and atypical BSE prions was not highly affected by high concentrations of normal brain homogenates. The unique reactivity of rCerPrP disappeared when the N-terminal region (aa 25–93) was truncated. Replacement of aa 23–149 of mouse (Mo) PrP with the corresponding region of CerPrP partially restored the unique reactivity of rCerPrP in RT-QuIC. Replacement of the extreme C-terminal region of MoPrP aa 219–231 to the corresponding region of CerPrP partially conferred the unique reactivity of rCerPrP to rMoPrP, suggesting the involvement of both N- and C-terminal regions. Additionally, rCerN–Mo–CerCPrP, a chimeric PrP comprising CerPrP aa 25–153, MoPrP aa 150–218, and CerPrP aa 223–233, showed an additive effect of the N- and C-terminal regions. These results provide a mechanistic implication for detecting CWD and atypical BSE prions using rCerPrP and are useful for further improvements of RT-QuIC.

description: Chiral molecules with broken parity symmetries can be modeled as quantum systems with cyclic-transition structures. By using these novel properties, we design two-step laser pulses to distinguish left- and right-handed molecules from the enantiomers. After the applied pulse drivings, one kind chiral molecules are trapped in coherent population trapping state, while the other ones are pumped to the highest states for ionizations. Then, different chiral molecules can be separated.

Year: 2023

description: Background:
We used data from the Minnesota Stroke Registry to examine rates of intravenous thrombolytic therapy in acute ischemic stroke and identifed opportunities to improve the utilization of this treatment.
Methods:
We analyzed a total of 1010 acute ischemic stroke patients who had been entered into the registry by 13 participating hospitals during the first three quarters of the 2008 calendar year.
Results:
Of the 1010 patients only 121 (12%) came within 2 hours of symptom onset. Intravenous recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (rt-PA) was administered to 32/55 (58%) of the patients who arrived within 2 hours of symptom onset and met eligibility criteria for this treatment. The remaining 66 patients had a documented reason for non-treatment. The most common reason (22/66) for non-treatment was rapid resolution of symptoms or mild stroke. Out of those 22 patients, 20 were ambulating independently prior to admission and only 9/20 (45%) ambulated independently at discharge
The targum (1882:Apr. 28)
Creators: name: No Name Supplied
Publisher: name: Targum Association
Year: 1882

description: Some University historians indicate that the Targum was first published as an annual in 1867, but of this we have no extant evidence. In January 1869, the Targum as we now know it, made its appearance as a monthly paper that concerned itself with student “literary contributions” and college news as well as serving as a vehicle for bringing news to alumni and the general public. The newspaper, which originally was for sale, varied in frequency over the years as did its title (The Targum, Rutgers Targum, Rutgers Daily Targum, and Daily Targum). The newspaper has continuously been published since 1869 with the exception of 19 months during the second world war, between February 1944 and October 1945. The Targum was published by the students of Rutgers College, and later Rutgers University—New Brunswick represented through the years as the Targum Association, Rutgers Targum Association, and Rutgers College Targum. As a student organization, the Targum operated under the oversight of the dean of students and student government but in October 1980, the Targum became an independent college paper.

description: To study the behavior of unsaturated granular materials on vessels, a monolithic multi-physics approach is implemented within a Finite Volume framework. This includes constitutive models representing various cargo failure mechanisms which are applied to 2D parameter studies that provide comprehensive insights into cargo behavior under diverse conditions. The models include a rigid-perfectly plastic soil model, a porous media approach for rigid materials, an incompressible elastic model, and a coupling of the rigid-perfectly plastic model with the porous media. Thorough validation and verification of all implemented models are presented, along with a proof-of-concept study demonstrating a complete three-dimensional simulation of a loaded bulk carrier in waves.

description: Aims. In the low-collisional, partially ionized plasma (PIP) of solar prominences, uncharged emitters might show different signatures of magnetic line broadening than charged emitters. We investigate if the widths of weak metall emissions in prominences exceed the thermal line broadening by a different amount for charged and for uncharged emitters.
 Methods. We simultaneously observe five optically thin, weak metall lines in the brightness center of a quiescent prominence and compare their observed widths with the thermal broadening.
 Results. The inferred non-thermal broadening of the metall lines does not indicate systematic differences between the uncharged Mg b2 and Na D1 and the charged Fe II emitters, only Sr II is broader.
 Conclusions. The additional line broadening of charged emitters is reasonably attributed to magnetic forces. That of uncharged emitters can then come from their temporary state as ion before recombination. Magnetically induced velocities will retain some time after recombination. Modelling partially ionized plasmas then requires consideration of a memory of previous ionization states.

description: Exposing the (111) surface of the topological insulator Bi2Se3 to carbon monoxide results in strong shifts of the features observed in angle-resolved photoemission. The behavior is very similar to an often reported `aging' effect of the surface and it is concluded that this aging is most likely due to the adsorption of rest gas molecules. The spectral changes are also similar to those recently reported in connection with the adsorption of the magnetic adatom Fe. All spectral changes can be explained by a simultaneous confinement of the conduction band and valence band states. This is only possible because of the unusual bulk electronic structure of Bi2Se3. The valence band quantization leads to spectral features which resemble those of a band gap opening at the Dirac point.

description: Non-congruence appears to be the most general form of phase transition in cosmic matter and in the laboratory. In terrestrial applications noncongruencemeans coexistence of phases with different chemical composition in systems consisting of two (or more) chemical elements. It is just the case for all phase transitions in high-temperature chemically reactive mixtures, which are typical for uranium-bearing compounds in many nuclear energy devices, both contemporary and perspective. As for cosmic matter, most of real and hypothetical phase transitions without nuclear reactions, i.e., those in the interiors of giant planets (solar and extrasolar), those in brown dwarfs and other sub-stellar objects, as well as in the outer crust of compact stars, are very plausible candidates for such type of phase transformations. Two exotic phase transitions, the gas-liquid phase transition in dense nuclear matter and the quark-hadron transition occuring in the interior of compact stars as well as in high-energy heavy-ion collisions are under discussion as the most extreme example of hypothetical non-congruence for phase transformations in High Energy Density Matter.

description: Periodic sharp wave complexes (PSWCs), identified using electroencephalography, are observed in less than half of patients with the methionine homozygosity type 2 cortical (MM2c) form of sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (sCJD), and only at a later stage of the disease. In this study, we identified early and specific markers on the electroencephalograms (EEGs) of patients with MM2c-sCJD. We retrospectively investigated the clinical records, EEGs, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans of patients diagnosed with sCJD and compared the EEG findings of MM2c-sCJD and MM1/classic sCJD groups. The records of six patients with MM2c-sCJD and eight with MM1/classic sCJD were included. The median ages of onset in the MM2c- and MM1/classic sCJD groups were 75.0 (range, 60–83) and 72.5 (range, 51–74) years, respectively, and the average durations between disease onset and the first EEG were 9.17 (range, 4–15) and 1.88 (range, 1–4) months, respectively. Focal sharp waves and/or focal spike-and-wave complexes in the brain regions corresponding with cortical hyperintensities on MRI scans were identified on the EEGs of patients with MM2c-sCJD in the early stages of disease progression. In contrast, EEGs of patients in the early stages of MM1/classic sCJD showed lateralized or generalized diffuse sharp waves and spike-and-wave complexes, which were not limited to cortical hyperintensities identified with MRI scans. Our findings indicate that focal sharp waves and/or focal spike-and-wave complexes on the EEGs of patients in the early phase of MM2c-sCJD are characteristic of the disease, suggesting the possible usefulness of this characteristic for early diagnosis.

Democratic Vice-Presidential nominee Joseph Biden underwent treatment in 1988 for his aneurysm. Tragically, at the age of 58, United States Congresswoman Stephanie Tubbs Jones died in August 2008 from a ruptured brain aneurysm. Given the recent national spotlight, neurologists, neurosurgeons and nurses may find their patients have many questions about the condition. The following serves as a resource for patient-specific information regarding the basics of brain aneurysms.

description: Nonvolatile bipolar resistive switching has been observed in an Au/BiFeO3/Pt structure, where a Schottky contact and a quasi-Ohmic contact were formed at the Au/BiFeO3 and BiFeO3/Pt interface, respectively. By changing the polarity of the external voltage, the Au/BiFeO3/Pt is switched between two stable resistance states without an electroforming process. The resistance ratio is larger than two orders of magnitude. The resistive switching is understood by the electric field - induced carriers trapping and detrapping, which changes the depletion layer thickness at the Au/BiFeO3 interface.

Liquid content predictors for aqueous foams
Creators: name: Lapucha, Joanna
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2018

description: Historically, foam studies have focused on foamability, foam stability, and foam inhibition as opposed to foam density. Hence, the impact of various factors on foam density is still not well understood. Previous experimental work shows that concentrated surfactant solutions with similar surface tensions produce foams with different liquid fractions. These results contradict the common assumption held that these foams would have near-identical liquid fractions. Therefore, this study probes for correlations between equilibrium and dynamic surfactant adsorption parameters at air-liquid interfaces for aqueous foams made from solutions well above the critical micelle concentration. A protocol was developed for measuring foam density using a cylindrical foaming apparatus with porous filter plate for gas sparging. The foams were created from aqueous solutions of small-molecule surfactants known to have negligible surface shear viscosity. Equilibrium parameters of the maximum surface concentration, equilibrium adsorption/desorption rate constant, and effectiveness (critical micelle concentration) showed weak evidence of a correlation as quantified by linear and ranked correlation coefficients. The surfactant efficiency (concentration needed to reduce the surface tension 20 mN/m) showed some evidence of linear correlation between the ranking of the variables. In contrast, the time required to reduce the surface tension 35% and 50% of the way from the pure water value to the equilibrium value (t_35 and t_50) showed strong evidence of correlation of increasing liquid fraction with faster surfactant adsorption times. The results of this study highlight the influence of dynamics even for highly concentrated surfactant solutions.

description: Chronic wasting disease (CWD) is caused by prions, infectious proteinaceous particles, PrPCWD. We sequenced the PRNP gene of 2,899 white-tailed deer (WTD) from Illinois and southern Wisconsin, finding 38 haplotypes. Haplotypes A, B, D, E, G and 10 others encoded Q95G96S100N103A123Q226, designated ‘PrP variant A.’ Haplotype C and five other haplotypes encoded PrP ‘variant C’ (Q95S96S100N103A123Q226). Haplotype F and three other haplotypes encoded PrP ‘variant F’ (H95G96S100N103A123Q226). The association of CWD with encoded PrP variants was examined in 2,537 tested WTD from counties with CWD. Relative to PrP variant A, CWD susceptibility was lower in deer with PrP variant C (OR = 0.26, p OR = 0.10, p OR = 0.25, p OR = 0.07, p PRNP polymorphisms may be a useful tool in CWD management.

description: Concurrence is an entanglement measure characterizing the {\it mixed} state bipartite correlations inside of a pure state of an $n$-qubit system. We show that after organizing the charges and the moduli in the STU model of $N=2$, $d=4$ supergravity to a three-qubit state, for static extremal spherically symmetric BPS black hole solutions the vanishing condition for all of the bipartite concurrences on the horizon is equivalent to the attractor equations. As a result of this the macroscopic black hole entropy given by the three-tangle can be reinterpreted as a linear entropy characterizing the {\it pure} state entanglement for an arbitrary bipartite split. Both for the BPS and non-BPS cases explicit expressions for the concurrences are obtained, with their vanishing on the horizon is demonstrated.

description: The emergence of CWD in Europe in 2016 and the first natural infection in wild reindeer warranted disease management. This led to the testing of 2424 hunted or culled reindeer during 2016–2018, from the infected subpopulation in the Nordfjella mountain range in Southern Norway. To identify any association between PRNP variation and CWD susceptibility, we characterized the open reading frame of the PRNP gene in 19 CWD positive reindeer and in 101 age category- and sex-matched CWD negative controls. Seven variant positions were identified: 6 single nucleotide variants (SNVs) and a 24 base pair (bp) deletion located between nucleotide position 238 and 272, encoding four instead of five octapeptide repeats. With a single exception, all variant positions but one were predicted to be non-synonymous. The synonymous SNV and the deletion are novel in reindeer. Various combinations of the non-synonymous variant positions resulted in the identification of five PRNP alleles (A-E) that structured into 14 genotypes. We identified an increased CWD risk in reindeer carrying two copies of the most common allele, A, coding for serine in position 225 (Ser225) and in those carrying allele A together with the 24 bp deletion.
Cerebral Hemodynamics in Acute Stroke: Pathophysiology and Clinical Implications
Creators: name: Zeenat Qureshi Stroke Institutes
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2023

description: Background:
The capacity of the brain to regulate its blood flow in order to meet metabolic demands and to compensate for acute and chronic changes in cerebral perfusion pressure (cerebral autoregulation) is an essential protecting mechanism against cerebral ischemia.
Methods:
We reviewed existing data on methods of assessing cerebral blood flow and autoregulation.
Results:
Cerebral autoregulation is mechanistically complex and depends on myogenic, neuronal, endothelial, and metabolic factors. There are numerous methods of estimating cerebrovascular reserve (CVR) non-invasively including Positive Emission Tomography (gold standard), Transcranial Doppler ultrasound, dynamic contrast-enhanced perfusion Magnetic Resonance Imaging, Single-Photon Emission Computed Tomography and Xenon Computed Tomography. Since each of these techniques has its advantages and disadvantages, selection of a specific method for CVR testing depends on availability, acquired experience in interpreting the study, required precision, and cost. Cerebral autoregulation may be impaired in patients with symptomatic or asymptomatic carotid stenosis or occlusion and is associated with a higher risk of stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA) ipsilateral to the carotid artery disease.
The targum (1882:May 12)
Creators: name: No Name Supplied
Publisher: name: Targum Association
Year: 1882

description: Some University historians indicate that the Targum was first published as an annual in 1867, but of this we have no extant evidence. In January 1869, the Targum as we now know it, made its appearance as a monthly paper that concerned itself with student “literary contributions” and college news as well as serving as a vehicle for bringing news to alumni and the general public. The newspaper, which originally was for sale, varied in frequency over the years as did its title (The Targum, Rutgers Targum, Rutgers Daily Targum, and Daily Targum). The newspaper has continuously been published since 1869 with the exception of 19 months during the second world war, between February 1944 and October 1945. The Targum was published by the students of Rutgers College, and later Rutgers University—New Brunswick represented through the years as the Targum Association, Rutgers Targum Association, and Rutgers College Targum. As a student organization, the Targum operated under the oversight of the dean of students and student government but in October 1980, the Targum became an independent college paper.
The emergence of a coherent structure for coherent structures: localized states in nonlinear systems

description: Coherent structures emerge from the dynamics of many kinds of dissipative, externally driven, nonlinear systems, and continue to provoke new questions that challenge our physical and mathematical understanding. In one specific sub-class of such problems, where a pattern-forming, or `Turing', instability occurs, rapid progress has been made recently in our understanding of the formation of localized states: patches of regular pattern surrounded by the unpatterned homogeneous background state. This short review article surveys the progress that has been made for localized states, proposes three areas of application for these ideas that would take the theory in new directions and ultimately be of substantial benefit to areas of applied science. Finally I offer speculations for future work, based on localized states, that may help researchers to understand coherent structures more generally.

description: Artificial Intelligence (AI) driven Deepfake technology is becoming increasingly prevalent today and poses a significant threat to journalists in terms of credibility and reliability of the media. Deepfakes, realistic images, videos, and audio generated with the use of Artificial Intelligence but are genuine fake, have become rampant. At first it was an entertainment tool and was noticed in the film industry, but after that deepfake started appearing in political circles: they use it to influence people and deceive them. This paper seeks to examine the awareness and understating of deep fakes in relation to media credibility, journalism principles and the sanctity of a news report. It explains how fake videos affect the society and looks into how one could tell whether the videos that they are using are real or fake. In addition, the study explores the possibilities of addressing the negative consequences of deepfakes, such as media literacy and the use of particular technologies. Finally, the paper outlines the strategies for journalism to embrace this new environment while endeavoring to stay truthful in the fake news world that is fast becoming a norm in the digital realm.
