description: Using the non-perturbative renormalization technique, we calculate the renormalization factors for quark bilinear operators made of overlap fermions on the lattice. The background gauge field is generated by the JLQCD and TWQCD collaborations including dynamical effects of two or 2+1 flavors of light quarks on a 16$^3\times$32 or 16$^3\times$48 lattice at lattice spacing around 0.1 fm. By reducing the quark mass close to the chiral limit, where the finite volume system enters the so-called $ε$-regime, the unwanted effect of spontaneous chiral symmetry breaking on the renormalization factors is suppressed. On the lattices in the conventional $p$-regime, this effect is precisely subtracted by separately calculating the contributions from the chiral condensate.

description: To test the standard flare model (CSHKP-model), we measured the magnetic-flux change rate in five flare events of different GOES classes using chromospheric/photospheric observations and compared its progression with observed nonthermal flare emission. We calculated the cumulated positive and negative magnetic flux participating in the reconnection process, as well as the total reconnection flux. Finally, we investigated the relations between the total reconnection flux, the GOES class of the events, and the linear velocity of the flare-associated CMEs. Using high-cadence H-alpha and TRACE 1600 A image time-series data and MDI/SOHO magnetograms, we measured the required observables (newly brightened flare area and magnetic-field strength inside this area). RHESSI and INTEGRAL hard X-ray time profiles in nonthermal energy bands were used as observable proxies for the flare-energy release rate. We detected strong temporal correlations between the derived magnetic-flux change rate and the observed nonthermal emission of all events. The cumulated positive and negative fluxes, with flux ratios of between 0.64 and 1.35, were almost equivalent to each other. Total reconnection fluxes ranged between 1.8 x 10^21 Mx for the weakest event (GOES class B9.5) and 15.5 x 10^21 Mx for the most energetic one (GOES class X17.2). The amount of magnetic flux participating in the reconnection process was higher in more energetic events than in weaker ones. Flares with more reconnection flux were associated with faster CMEs.

Isolation and functional properties of protein fractions from rapeseed flour (Brassica campestris L. var. Echo)
Creators: name: Kodagoda, Lakshman Punniyadasa
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: A three stage method of extraction of proteins from rapeseed flour sequentially with water, 0.1 N hydrochloric acid, and 0.02 N sodium hydroxide has been developed. The first water extract contained mainly acidic and neutral proteins whereas the second hydrochloric acid extract contained basic proteins, which migrate to the cathode by pH 8.8 gel electrophoresis. This can partially be explained by higher arginine content. Ash content in the second hydrochloric acid extract, approximately 36%, was reduced to less than 10% by treating with 0.05 M oxalic acid. The water extract may be a good supplement to other vegetable products because of high lysine content. The approximate yields of proteins in the preparation of isolates were 11, 7, 41 and 61% respectively for the water, hydrochloric acid and sodium hydroxide extractions and for the single stage sodium hydroxide extraction. Proteins were lost in the whey during isoelectric precipitation, with a concomitent loss of a considerable amount of cystine and methionine. The emulsifying capacity of the water extract was better than that of the other extracts: 45 and 35 ml of corn oil per 10 0 mg of protein isolate respectively. The concentrates showed a similar trend, but the volume of oil was approximately 25% less for all preparations. In baking studies, the replacement of 5% of the wheat flour with rapeseed protein isolates prepared by isoelectric precipitation caused an approximate 10 to 15% decrease in loaf volume. The bread prepared with the concentrates decreased loaf volume by about 20%. The loaf volume was restored in most cases by adding 0.5% Atmul 124 (a mono- and diglyceride mixture manufactured by Atlas Chemical Industries) to the dough. With the isolates from the first water and second hydrochloric acid extracts an increase in loaf volume of 10 to 15% was observed over the control. With the isolates from the third sodium hydroxide and single stage sodium hydroxide extractions the loaf volume was restored without any increase. The bread prepared from the concentrates together with emulsifier showed a decrease of 12% in loaf volume except the third sodium hydroxide extract which had a 6% increase. Whip tests showed the best expansion of meringue when the protein isolate from the hydrochloric acid extraction was used at a level of 3% replacing egg white protein, an even better result than whipping the egg white alone. All other isolates showed a decrease in expansion. The concentrates except the water extract showed a slight decrease.

description: Pierre Auger experiment has detected at least a couple of ray events above energy 60 EeV from the direction of the radio-galaxy Centaurus A. Assuming those events are from Centaurus A, we have calculated the number of neutral cosmic ray events from this source for small values of the degree of violation in Lorentz invariance. Our results show that a comparison of our calculated numbers of events with the observed number of events at EeV energy from the direction of the source can probe extremely low value of the degree of this violation.

description: PSR J1906+0746 is a 112-kyr-old radio pulsar in a tight relativistic binary with a compact high-mass companion, at the distance of about 5 kpc. We observed this unique system with the Chandra ACIS detector for 31.6 ks. Surprisingly, not a single photon was detected within the 3" radius from the J1906+0746 radio position. For a plausible range of hydrogen column densities, n_H=(0.5-1)\times10^{22} cm^{-2}, the nondetection corresponds to the 90% upper limit of (3-5)\times10^{30} erg s^{-1} on the unabsorbed 0.5-8 keV luminosity for the power-law model with Gamma=1.0-2.0, and ~10^{32} erg s^{-1} on the bolometric luminosity of the thermal emission from the NS surface. The inferred limits are the lowest known for pulsars with spin-down properties similar to those of PSR J1906+0746. We have also tentatively detected a puzzling extended structure which looks like a tilted ring with a radius of 1.6' centered on the pulsar. The measured 0.5-8 keV flux of the feature, 3.1\times10^{-14} erg cm^{-2} s^{-1}, implies an unabsorbed luminosity of 1.2\times10^{32} erg s^{-1} (4.5\times10^{-4} of the pulsar's spin-down power). Although all conventional interpretations of the ring appear to be problematic, the pulsar-wind nebula with an unusually underluminous pulsar remains the most viable interpretation.

On the stupendous beauty of closure

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2009
Subjects: subject: Soft Condensed Matter (cond-mat.soft)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Closure seems to be something rheologists would prefer to avoid. Here, the story of closure is told in such a way that one should enduringly forget any improper undertone of "uncontrolled approximation" or "necessary evil" which might arise, for example, in reducing a diffusion equation in configuration space to moment equations. In its widest sense, closure is associated with the search for self-contained levels of description on which time-evolution equations can be formulated in a closed, or autonomous, form. Proper closure requires the identification of the relevant structural variables participating in the dominant processes in a system of interest, and closure hence is synonymous with focusing on the essence of a problem and consequently with deep understanding. The derivation of closed equations may or may not be accompanied by the elimination of fast processes in favor of dissipation. As a general requirement, any closed set of evolution equations should be thermodynamically admissible. Thermodynamic admissibility comprises much more than the second law of thermodynamics, most notably, a clear separation of reversible and irreversible effects and a profound geometric structure of the reversible terms as a hallmark of reversibility. We discuss some implications of the intimate relationship between nonequilibrium thermodynamics and the principles of closure for rheology, and we illustrate the abstract ideas for the rod model of liquid crystal polymers, bead-spring models of dilute polymer solutions, and the reptation model of melts of entangled linear polymers.

'Through a glass, darkly' : the camera, the convict and the criminal life
Creators: name: Clark, JC
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: A unique series of convict portraits was created at Tasmania's Port Arthur penal station in 1873 and 1874. While these photographs are often reproduced, their author remained unidentified, their purpose unknown. The lives of their subjects also remained unexamined. This study used government records, contemporary newspaper reportage, convict memoirs, historical research and modern criminological theory to identify the photographer, to discover the purpose and use of his work, and to develop an understanding of the criminal careers of these men. The photographer was probably the penultimate commandant of Port Arthur, Adolarius Humphrey Boyd. Rather than representing the entire inmate population at the time of the station's closure, the project photographed only the men who were probably regarded as a risk to the community. The purpose of these photographs was assumed to be associated with policing but, unlike the practice in Britain and Europe, this turned out not to be the case. Instead, these images were adhered to each man's Hobart Gaol record. Tasmanian police refused to adopt the practice of circulating images of offenders, claiming that their local knowledge was sufficient. This confidence was misplaced. Most of these men were arrested by members of their own community, exploding the myth of mateship. In asking why these men continually reoffended, I developed criteria based on modern theories of recidivism, and tested the life experience of these men against them. I found that this group of men met all the pre-conditions developed by criminologists for recidivism. In Britain and Tasmania they were chronically disadvantaged. In Tasmania they were brutalised as convicts, tainted forever by their time at Port Arthur and, as a result, rejected by society as emancipists. The criminal sub-culture, defiantly opposed to conventional standards of respectability, offered them acceptance. These photographs played their part in a society and a regime fated to create recidivists. They proved to their subjects, and to the world, that the subjects were outcasts. Almost 150 years later, they continue to affirm the criminal identity of these former Port Arthur inmates.

description: Purpose: To date, there are no automated tools for the identification and fine-grained classification of paraphasias within discourse, the production of which is the hallmark characteristic of most people with aphasia (PWA). In this work, we fine-tune a large language model (LLM) to automatically predict paraphasia targets in Cinderella story retellings.Method: Data consisted of 332 Cinderella story retellings containing 2,489 paraphasias from PWA, for which research assistants identified their intended targets. We supplemented these training data with 256 sessions from control participants, to which we added 2,415 synthetic paraphasias. We conducted four experiments using different training data configurations to fine-tune the LLM to automatically “fill in the blank” of the paraphasia with a predicted target, given the context of the rest of the story retelling. We tested the experiments’ predictions against our human-identified targets and stratified our results by ambiguity of the targets and clinical factors.Results: The model trained on controls and PWA achieved 50.7% accuracy at exactly matching the human-identified target. Fine-tuning on PWA data, with or without controls, led to comparable performance. The model performed better on targets with less human ambiguity and on paraphasias from participants with fluent or less severe aphasia.Conclusions: We were able to automatically identify the intended target of paraphasias in discourse using just the surrounding language about half of the time. These findings take us a step closer to automatic aphasic discourse analysis. In future work, we will incorporate phonological information from the paraphasia to further improve predictive utility.Supplemental Material S1.

description: Certainly, nowadays knowledge discovery or extracting knowledge from large amount of data is a desirable task in competitive businesses. Data mining is a main step in knowledge discovery process. Meanwhile frequent patterns play central role in data mining tasks such as clustering, classification, and association analysis. Identifying all frequent patterns is the most time consuming process due to a massive number of candidate patterns. For the past decade there have been an increasing number of efficient algorithms to mine the frequent patterns. However reducing the number of candidate patterns and comparisons for support counting are still two problems in this field which have made the frequent pattern mining one of the active research themes in data mining. A reasonable solution is identifying a small candidate pattern set from which can generate all frequent patterns. In this paper, a method is proposed based on a new candidate set called candidate head set or H which forms a small set of candidate patterns. The experimental results verify the accuracy of the proposed method and reduction of the number of candidate patterns and comparisons.

Dabei zielen neue Fertigungsprozesse auf eine Steigerung der wirtschaftlichen Effizienz bei gleichzeitiger Erfüllung von Bauteilanforderungen hinsichtlich multipler Bauteileigenschaften und eine gute Adaptivität auf sich ändernde ökologische und ökonomische Faktoren ab. Ein Ansatz, diesen Anforderungen gerecht zu werden, besteht darin, neue umformtechnische Prozesse für regelungstechnische Ansätze zu entwickeln. Das in dieser Arbeit vorgestellte Fertigungsverfahren Lochwalzen wird den Anforderungen an zukünftige Umformprozesse gerecht und bietet die Möglichkeit, unterschiedlichste Funktionsflächen in dünnwandige Strukturen mit hoher Oberflächengüte und ohne weitere Nachbearbeitung herzustellen. Die Prozessgestaltung weist dabei die Möglichkeit zur Regelung von Produkteigenschaften, wie Geometrie, Mikrogefüge und Martensitgehalt, auf. Im Rahmen dieser Arbeit wird das Verfahren grundlegend beschrieben. Dabei werden empirische Gleichungen zur Auslegung und Abschätzung von zukünftigen Lochwalzprozessen aufgezeigt und Untersuchungen zu Verfahrensgrenzen durchgeführt.

Analysis and optimization of differential PCM systems operating on noisy communication channels
Creators: name: Chang, Ke-Yen
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: A closed-form analytical expression for the output signal-to-noise ratio (SNR₀) of differential PCM systems operating on noisy communication channels is obtained. A procedure is then proposed for maximizing SNR₀ by joint optimization of the quantizer, predictor, sampling rate, and bandwidth. Several examples are considered, including one- and two-sample feedback systems excited by speech and video signals. Various techniques for reducing channel errors are then discussed. The predictor used in the DPCM system is linear and time invariant, but otherwise arbitrary. As with PCM, contributions to output signal distortion can be expressed as a sum of three distinct terms resulting, respectively, from quantization errors, channel transmission errors, and mutual errors arising from interaction between quantization and channel errors. Constraints on the predictor coefficients for channel errors not to build up unlimitedly are presented. When a conventional optimum linear predictor is used, transmission errors are shown to be no more serious for DPCM than for PCM. The values of SNR₀ obtainable from DPCM are also compared with the theoretical bound obtained from the rate-distortion function. For a well-designed DPCM system, the value of SNR₀ is shown to be considerably higher than that for a well-designed PCM system operating on the same digital channel, even if the channel is noisy. In considering examples, particular attention is devoted to determining maximum values for SNR₀ and to examining the dependence of SNR₀ on predictor coefficient values, number of quantization levels, message statistics, and channel error probability. Implications of this dependence on system design are noted. Among the various techniques investigated for combating channel noise are channel encoding, periodic resetting, and pseudo-random resetting. These techniques are further evaluated subjectively with two video images. DPCM systems with coarse quantization are studied. The fedback quantization noise is considered in optimizing the predictor. Simple equations for the optimum predictor coefficients and the resulting SNR₀ are derived.
Cosmological Hydrogen Recombination: influence of resonance and electron scattering

description: In this paper we consider the effects of resonance and electron scattering on the escape of Lyman alpha photons during cosmological hydrogen recombination. We pay particular attention to the influence of atomic recoil, Doppler boosting and Doppler broadening using a Fokker-Planck approximation of the redistribution function describing the scattering of photons on the Lyman alpha resonance of moving hydrogen atoms. We extend the computations of our recent paper on the influence of the 3d/3s-1s two-photon channels on the dynamics of hydrogen recombination, simultaneously including the full time-dependence of the problem, the thermodynamic corrections factor, leading to a frequency-dependent asymmetry between the emission and absorption profile, and the quantum-mechanical corrections related to the two-photon nature of the 3d/3s-1s emission and absorption process on the exact shape of the Lyman alpha emission profile. We show here that due to the redistribution of photons over frequency hydrogen recombination is sped up by DN_e/N_e~-0.6% at z~900. For the CMB temperature and polarization power spectra this results in |DC_l/C_l|~0.5%-1% at l >~ 1500, and therefore will be important for the analysis of future CMB data in the context of the PLANCK Surveyor, SPT and ACT. The main contribution to this correction is coming from the atomic recoil effect (DN_e/N_e~-1.2% at z~900), while Doppler boosting and Doppler broadening partially cancel this correction, again slowing hydrogen recombination down by DN_e/N_e~0.6% at z~900. The influence of electron scattering close to the maximum of the Thomson visibility function at z~1100 can be neglected. (abridged)

description: We propose a new method, the Monte Carlo confidence interval (MCCI) method, for studying measurement invariance. This method allows researchers to examine the invariance of all items simultaneously by comparing the observed between-group differences in parameters with those obtained under the null hypothesis of invariance. We compare the performance of our method to two other methods: the multigroup confirmatory factor analysis (MG-CFA) and the forward method using confidence intervals (forward CI). The results show that our method performed better than the MG-CFA method and comparably with the forward CI method. The code to implement our method and an empirical example are provided in the Supplementary materials.

description: A detailed study of charge collection efficiency has been performed on the Silicon Drift Detectors (SDD) of the ALICE experiment. Three different methods to study the collected charge as a function of the drift time have been implemented. The first approach consists in measuring the charge at different injection distances moving an infrared laser by means of micrometric step motors. The second method is based on the measurement of the charge injected by the laser at fixed drift distance and varying the drift field, thus changing the drift time. In the last method, the measurement of the charge deposited by atmospheric muons is used to study the charge collection efficiency as a function of the drift time. The three methods gave consistent results and indicated that no charge loss during the drift is observed for the sensor types used in 99% of the SDD modules mounted on the ALICE Inner Tracking System. The atmospheric muons have also been used to test the effect of the zero-suppression applied to reduce the data size by erasing the counts in cells not passing the thresholds for noise removal. As expected, the zero suppression introduces a dependence of the reconstructed charge as a function of drift time because it cuts the signal in the tails of the electron clouds enlarged by diffusion effects. These measurements allowed also to validate the correction for this effect extracted from detailed Monte Carlo simulations of the detector response and applied in the offline data reconstruction.

Effects of quark family nonuniversality in SU(3)_c X SU(4)_L X U(1)_x models

description: Flavour changing neutral currents arise in the $SU(3)_c\otimes SU(4)_L\otimes U(1)_X$ extension of the standard model because anomaly cancellation among the fermion families requires one generation of quarks to transform differently from the other two under the gauge group. In the weak basis the distinction between quark families is meaningless. However, in the mass eigenstates basis, the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa mixing matrix motivates us to classify left-handed quarks in families. In this sense there are, in principle, three different assignments of quark weak eigenstates into mass eigenstates. In this work, by using measurements at the Z-pole, atomic parity violation data and experimental input from neutral meson mixing, we examine two different models without exotic electric charges based on the 3-4-1 symmetry, and address the effects of quark family nonuniversality on the bounds on the mixing angle between two of the neutral currents present in the models and on the mass scales $M_{Z_2}$ and $M_{Z_3}$ of the new neutral gauge bosons predicted by the theory. The heaviest family of quarks must transform differently in order to keep lower bounds on $M_{Z_2}$ and $M_{Z_3}$ as low as possible without violating experimental constraints.

description: Τις τελευταίες δεκαετίες έχουν εδραιωθεί τα έξυπνα δίκτυα ηλεκτρικής ενέργειας, ικανά να ανταπεξέλθουν σε νέες ανάγκες όπως προκύπτουν από την αυξανόμενη διείσδυση των ανανεώσιμων πηγών, την εδραίωση των κατανεμημένων συστημάτων παραγωγής μικρότερης κλίμακας και την αλλαγή της ιδιότητας του καταναλωτή σε καταναλωτή - παραγωγό. Με τα προαναφερθέντα δεδομένα, ένα έξυπνο δίκτυο ηλεκτρικής ενέργειας πρέπει να αντιμετωπίσει διάφορα προβλήματα, ένα από τα οποία είναι το πρόβλημα της βέλτιστης ροής ισχύος. Στην παρούσα διπλωματική εργασία, αρχικά γίνεται μια ανασκόπηση στην υπολογιστική νοημοσύνη και στις μεταευρετικές μεθόδους και στην συνέχεια αναλύονται και συγκρίνονται διεξοδικά δύο δημοφιλείς μέθοδοι, οι γενετικοί αλγόριθμοι και ο αλγόριθμος βελτιστοποίησης σμήνους σωματιδίων (PSO). Στην συνέχεια, διατυπώνονται οι βασικές έννοιες και οι μαθηματικές σχέσεις για την κατανόηση του προβλήματος ροής ισχύος και φυσικά οι στόχοι που εξυπηρετούνται κατά τη βελτιστοποίηση της, όπως για παράδειγμα η μείωση των αποκλίσεων τάσεων και των απωλειών πραγματικής ισχύος. Τέλος, για την σύγκριση των δύο αλγόριθμων (PSO & GA) στο πρόβλημα βέλτιστης ροής ισχύος, χρησιμοποιούνται δύο benchmark δίκτυα (IEEE-69 & IEEE-123) και η σύγκριση αφορά στην απόδοση της καλύτερης βέλτιστης λύσης, την αξιοπιστία και το χρόνο απόδοσης της βέλτιστης λύσης.

description: Three-dimensional (3D) printing, also referred to as additive manufacturing, is considered to be a game-changing technology in many industries and is also considered to have potential use cases in pharmaceutical manufacturing, especially if individualization is desired. In this review article the authors systematically researched literature published during the last 5 years (2019 – spring 2024) on the topic of 3D printed dosage forms. Besides all kinds of oral dosage forms ranging from tablets and capsules to films, pellets, etc., numerous reports were also identified on parenteral and cutaneous dosage forms and also rectal, vaginal, dental, intravesical, and ophthalmic preparations. In total, more than 500 publications were identified and grouped according to the site of administration, and an overview of the manuscripts is presented here. Furthermore, selected publications are described and discussed in more detail. The review highlights the very different approaches that are currently used in order to develop 3D printed dosage forms but also addresses remaining challenges.

description: We present a simulation of the cosmic evolution of the atomic and molecular phases of the cold hydrogen gas in about 3e7 galaxies, obtained by post-processing the virtual galaxy catalog produced by (De Lucia et al. 2007) on the Millennium Simulation of cosmic structure (Springel et al. 2005). Our method uses a set of physical prescriptions to assign neutral atomic hydrogen (HI) and molecular hydrogen (H2) to galaxies, based on their total cold gas masses and a few additional galaxy properties. These prescriptions are specially designed for large cosmological simulations, where, given current computational limitations, individual galaxies can only be represented by simplistic model-objects with a few global properties. Our recipes allow us to (i) split total cold gas masses between HI, H2, and Helium, (ii) assign realistic sizes to both the HI- and H2-disks, and (iii) evaluate the corresponding velocity profiles and shapes of the characteristic radio emission lines. The results presented in this paper include the local HI- and H2-mass functions, the CO-luminosity function, the cold gas mass--diameter relation, and the Tully-Fisher relation (TFR), which all match recent observational data from the local Universe. We also present high-redshift predictions of cold gas diameters and the TFR, both of which appear to evolve markedly with redshift.

description: Clastic-dominated (CD-type) Zn-Pb ± Ag deposits account for significant global Zn and Pb resources. In this contribution, we describe a new Zn-Pb ± Ag deposit, Boundary Zone, recently discovered in the Macmillan Pass district, Yukon, Canada. Nine drill holes were sampled and studied using petrography, mineralogy (whole-rock and clay fraction X-ray diffractometry), and U-Pb geochronology on fluorapatite. These methods were used to develop a mineralogical paragenesis in order to constrain the timing of and controls on sulfide mineralization. The mineralization at Boundary Zone is hosted by the Late Ordovician-Early Silurian Duo Lake and the Middle-Late Devonian Portrait Lake Formations. The discovery of mineralized Ordovician-Silurian rocks at Boundary Zone is the first time that significant stratabound mineralization has been identified in rocks of this age within the Macmillan Pass district. The premineralization stage is dominated by early diagenetic phases, including quartz, barite, pyrite, fluorapatite, and phyllosilicates. Two genetically distinct mineralization stages have been identified. Mineralization stage I comprises stratabound fine-grained sphalerite, pyrite, galena, sulfosalts, and barian mica. Mineralization stage I sulfides formed via barite replacement, nucleation on premineralization pyrite, and porosity exploitation during early biogenic silica transformation of opal-A to cryptocrystalline and microquartz in highly siliceous mudstones (up to 85 wt % quartz). The high-grade and volumetrically major mineralization stage II formed following significant hydrothermal fluid-induced brecciation and veining of the host rocks and is accompanied by silicification and siderite formation. The presence of kaolinite, pyrophyllite, quartz, and fluorapatite suggests that hydrothermal fluids were likely F rich with temperatures up to 240°C. In one sample from the Niddery Lake Member, a discordant vein crosscuts mineralization stage I, but its paragenetic relationship with mineralization stage II could not be determined. Fluorapatite in this vein records a Middle Jurassic U-Pb age. We suggest the multiple mineralizing events at Boundary Zone formed during a prolonged period of fluid flow, spanning from diagenetic stages in the basin, possibly to periods of Cordilleran-related deformation in the Selwyn basin. These findings have significant implications for exploration strategies in the Macmillan Pass district and similar geologic settings, where biosiliceous mudstone deposition, diagenetic barite formation, and multiple hydrothermal fluid pulses are evident.

description: Purpose: To assess the feasibility and effectiveness of a newly developed assistive technology system, Lee Silverman Voice Treatment Companion (LSVT ® CompanionTM, hereafter referred to as “Companion”), to support the delivery of LSVT®LOUD, an efficacious speech intervention for individuals with Parkinson disease (PD).Method: Sixteen individuals with PD were randomized to an immediate (n = 8) or a delayed (n = 8) treatment group. They participated in 9 LSVT LOUD sessions and 7 Companion sessions, independently administered at home. Acoustic, listener perception, and voice and speech rating data were obtained immediately before (pre), immediately after (post), and at 6 months post treatment (follow-up). System usability ratings were collected immediately post treatment. Changes in vocal sound pressure level were compared to data from a historical treatment group of individuals with PD treated with standard, in-person LSVT LOUD.Results: All 16 participants were able to independently use the Companion. These individuals had therapeutic gains in sound pressure level, pre to post and pre to follow-up, similar to those of the historical treatment group.Conclusions: This study supports the use of the Companion as an aid in treatment of hypokinetic dysarthria in individuals with PD. Advantages and disadvantages of the Companion, as well as limitations of the present study and directions for future studies, are discussed.

description: There is growing awareness that brain mechanical properties are important for neural development and health. However, published values of brain stiffness differ by orders of magnitude between static measurements and in vivo magnetic resonance elastography (MRE), which covers a dynamic range over several frequency decades. We here show that there is no fundamental disparity between static mechanical tests and in vivo MRE when considering large-scale properties, which encompass the entire brain including fluid filled compartments. Using gradient echo real-time MRE, we investigated the viscoelastic dispersion of the human brain in, so far, unexplored dynamic ranges from intrinsic brain pulsations at 1 Hz to ultralow-frequency vibrations at 5, 6.25, 7.8 and 10 Hz to the normal frequency range of MRE of 40 Hz. Surprisingly, we observed variations in brain stiffness over more than two orders of magnitude, suggesting that the in vivo human brain is superviscous on large scales with very low shear modulus of 42±13 Pa and relatively high viscosity of 6.6±0.3 Pa∙s according to the two-parameter solid model. Our data shed light on the crucial role of fluid compartments including blood vessels and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) for whole brain properties and provide, for the first time, an explanation for the variability of the mechanical brain responses to manual palpation, local indentation, and high-dynamic tissue stimulation as used in elastography.
