description: We investigate a special sequence of random variables $A(N)$ defined by an exponential power series with independent standard complex Gaussians $(X(k))_{k \geq 1}$. Introduced by Hughes, Keating, and O'Connell in the study of random matrix theory, this sequence relates to Gaussian multiplicative chaos (in particular "holomorphic multiplicative chaos'' per Najnudel, Paquette, and Simm) and random multiplicative functions. Soundararajan and Zaman recently determined the order of $\mathbb{E}[|A(N)|]$. By constructing an algorithm to calculate $A(N)$ in $O(N^2 \log N)$ steps, we produce computational evidence that their result can likely be strengthened to an asymptotic result with a numerical estimate for the asymptotic constant. We also obtain similar conclusions when $A(N)$ is defined using standard real Gaussians or uniform $\pm 1$ random variables. However, our evidence suggests that the asymptotic constants do not possess a natural product structure.

description: Investigating the progress of created mitigation wetlands can provide useful information on current and future wetland design and management efforts, including monitoring activities legally mandated to ensure ecosystem development to properly mitigate the loss of natural wetlands. The study investigated structural vegetative and soil properties along with functional vegetative measures in four non-tidal freshwater wetlands created in the Piedmont region of Virginia. During the 2009 growing season, vegetation and soil samples were collected from wetlands ranging in age from 3 to 10 years. Vegetation attributes included percent cover (i.e., total, seeded, volunteer and non-native), richness (S), diversity (H'), floristic quality assessment index (FQAI), prevalence index(PI) and productivity (i.e., peak above and below-ground biomass). Soil condition attributes included soil organic matter (SOM), total organic carbon (TOC), total nitrogen(TN), C:N ration, gravimetric soil moisture (GSM), pH and bulk density(Db). There were no significant differences in vegetation percent cover, S, H' and FQAI by site. The lack of significant vegetation differences between sites was attributed to the abundance of a few common species. with the common soft rush, Juncus effusus, L., being the most dominant. However, significant site-based differences were detected for soil condition attributes (p<0.001), thus soil attributes were further analyzed using clustering statistics (60% dissimilarity applied), which resulted in four soil condition (SC) groups across the study sites. Vegetation data was then analyzed based on the SC groups. SC groups with greater SOM, lower Db, more circumneutral pH, and higher GSM, all indicative of maturity in wetland ecosystem development. were associated with higher H' and FQAI, and total and volunteer percent cover, and lower AGB, PI and seeded percent cover. A significant predictive relationship was found between peak AGB and other attributes of vegetation and soils (Standardized: AGB = 0.41H'+0.37PI-0.29SOM-0.24pH,R2=0.47, p<0.001), which can be of use in assessment of the functional trajectory of the wetlands. The outcomes of the study suggest that the inclusion of soil attributes can significantly enhance understanding and prediction of plant community development in created mitigation wetlands.

description: Zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) based catalysts are considered as promising candidates for the selective catalytic reduction of NO by CO (CO-SCR) reaction due to their large specific surface area. However, the structure of ZIF-8 will be damaged during the synthesis procedure of the catalyst, leading to a decrease in their physical properties, which in turn affects the catalytic performance of the catalyst. Herein, a CeO2-ZIF-8 core-shell structure was synthesized and doped with Fe, resulting in the formation of Fe@CeO2-ZIF-8, for CO-SCR reaction. Characterization results show that the Fe@CeO2-ZIF-8 core-shell catalyst has better morphology, thermal stability, and higher specific surface area than the FeCe co-impregnated ZIF-8 catalyst (FeCe@ZIF-8 (IM)). Moreover, the reducibility of the reactive Fe species in the Fe@CeO2-ZIF-8 core-shell catalyst is also enhanced. As a result, the Fe@CeO2-ZIF-8 core-shell catalyst exhibited higher low-temperature CO-SCR catalytic activity with its NO conversion reaching 99% at 250 °C versus the FeCe@ZIF-8 (IM) catalyst (89% at 250 °C). The experimental results were further verified by density functional theory (DFT) calculations including Electron Localization Function (ELF), Valence Charge Density Difference (VCDD), Projected Density of States (PDOS) and Bader charge analyses. The calculation results revealed that the core-shell configured Fe@CeO2-ZIF-8 catalyst has a stronger active metal-support charge transfer and better capacity for the adsorption of the reactants. The reaction mechanism over Fe@CeO2-ZIF-8 core-shell catalyst was investigated via in situ DRIFTS experiments, and results showed that the nitro compounds and formate species are critical intermediates in this reaction at a higher temperature range (300–350 °C). This work provides a new strategy for the synthesis of ZIF-8 based catalysts with better properties for CO-SCR reaction.

description: Recent experimental studies on near-field thermophotovoltaic (TPV) energy conversion have mainly focused on enhancing performance via photon tunneling of evanescent waves. In the sub-micron gap, however, there exist peculiar phenomena caused by the interference of propagating waves, which is seldom observed due to the dramatic increase of the radiation by evanescent waves in full spectrum range. Here, we experimentally demonstrate the oscillatory nature of near-field TPV energy conversion in the far-to-near-field transition regime (250-2600 nm), where evanescent and propagating modes are comparable due to the selective spectral response by the PV cell. Noticeably, it was possible to produce the same amount of photocurrent at different vacuum gaps of 870 and 322 nm, which is 10\% larger than the far-field value. Considering the great challenges in maintaining nanoscale vacuum gap in practical devices, this study suggests an alternative approach to the design of a TPV system that will outperform conventional far-field counterparts.

description: Natural induction and conceptual clustering are two methodologies pioneered by the GMU Machine Learning and Inference Laboratory for discovering conceptual relationships in data, and presenting them in the forms easy for people to interpret and understand. The first methodology is for supervised learning (learning from examples) and the second for unsupervised learning (clustering). Examples of their application to a wide range of practical domains are presented, including bioinformatics, medicine, agriculture, volcanology, demographics, intrusion detection and computer user modeling, manufacturing, civil engineering, optimization of functions of very large number of variables (100-1000), design of complex engineering systems, tax fraud detection, and musicology. Most of the results were obtained by applying our recent natural induction program, AQ21, which is downloadable from http://www.mli.gmu.edu/msoftware.html. To give the Reader a quick insight into differences between natural induction implemented in AQ21 and some well-known learning methods, such as those implemented in C4.5, RIPPER, and CN2, as well as between conceptual clustering and conventional clustering, Sections 15 and 16 describe results from applying all these methods to very simple, designed problems.

description: People have a fundamental need to belong that, when satisfied, is associated with mental and physical well-being. The current investigation examined what happens when the need to belong is thwarted—and how individual differences in self-esteem and emotion differentiation modulate neural responses to social rejection. We hypothesized that low self-esteem would predict heightened activation in distress-related neural responses during a social rejection manipulation, but that this relationship would be moderated by negative emotion differentiation—defined as adeptness at using discrete negative emotion categories to capture one's felt experience. Combining daily diary and neuroimaging methodologies, the current study showed that low self-esteem and low negative emotion differentiation represented a toxic combination that was associated with stronger activation during social rejection (versus social inclusion) in the dorsal anterior cingulate cortex and anterior insula—two regions previously shown to index social distress. In contrast, individuals with greater negative emotion differentiation did not show stronger activation in these regions, regardless of their level of self-esteem; fitting with prior evidence that negative emotion differentiation confers equanimity in emotionally upsetting situations.

description: We use Transition Path Theory (TPT) to frame, in a statistically more robust fashion than earlier analyses, equatorward routes of North Atlantic Deep Water (NADW) in the subpolar North Atlantic. TPT is applied on all available RAFOS and Argo floats in the area by means of a discretization of the Lagrangian dynamics described by their trajectories. By considering floats at different depths, we investigate transition paths of NADW in its upper (UNADW) and lower (LNADW) layers. We find that the majority of UNADW transition paths sourced in the Labrador and southwestern Irminger Seas reach the western side of a target arranged zonally along the southern edge of the subpolar North Atlantic domain visited by the floats. This is accomplished in the form of a well-organized deep boundary current (DBC). LNADW transition paths sourced west of the Reykjanes Ridge reveal a similar pattern, while those sourced east of the ridge are found to hit the western side of the target via a DBC and also several other places along it in a less organized fashion, indicating southward flow along the eastern and western flanks of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge. Naked-eye inspection of trajectories suggest generally much more diffusive equatorward NADW routes. A source-independent dynamical decomposition of the flow domain into analogous backward-time basins of attraction, beyond the reach of direct inspection of trajectories, reveals a much wider influence of the western side of the target for UNADW than for LNADW. For UNADW, the average expected duration of the pathways from the Labrador and Irminger Seas was found to be of 2 to 3 years. For LNADW, the duration was found to be influenced by the Reykjanes Ridge, being as long as 8 years from the western side of the ridge and of about 3 years on average from its eastern side.

description: Investoren nutzen zur Informationsbeschaffung neben traditionellen Nachrichtenkanälen zunehmend das Internet, was dazu geführt hat, dass Internetsuchaktivität als signifikanter Prädiktor für das Handelsvolumen von Aktien börsennotierter Unternehmen vermutet wird. Einige länderspezifische Evidenz unterstützt diese Vermutung. In dieser Studie wird erstmalig global länderübergreifend und industriefokussiert dieser Zusammenhang analysiert. Als Gradmesser für die Aufmerksamkeit, die Investoren einem Unternehmen schenken, sollte sich insbesondere die Internetsuchaktivität solcher Branchen eignen, denen im Allgemeinen ein geringes Interesse zuteil wird, weshalb der Fokus auf die Agrarindustrie gelegt wurde. Entsprechend eindeutig fallen die Ergebnisse aus. Das Google-Suchvolumen ist nicht nur hoch korreliert mit Illiquidität und Handelsaktivität, sondern hat auch die mit Abstand größte erklärende und vorhersagende Kraft.

description: Recently, new classes of infinite-dimensional algebras, quiver Yangian (QY) and shifted QY, were introduced, and they act on BPS states for non-compact toric Calabi-Yau threefolds. In particular, shifted QY acts on general subcrystals of the original BPS crystal. A trigonometric deformation called quiver quantum toroidal algebra (QQTA) was also proposed and shown to act on the same BPS crystal. Unlike QY, QQTA has a formal Hopf superalgebra structure which is useful in deriving representations. In this paper, we define the shifted QQTA and study a class of their representations. We define 1d and 2d subcrystals of the original 3d crystal by removing a few arrows from the original quiver diagram and show how the shifted QQTA acts on them. We construct the 2d crystal representations from the 1d crystal representations by utilizing a generalized coproduct acting on different shifted QQTAs. We provide a detailed derivation of subcrystal representations of $\mathbb{C}^{3}$, $\mathbb{C}^{3}/\mathbb{Z}_{n}(n\geq 2)$, conifold, suspended pinch point, and $\mathbb{C}^{3}/(\mathbb{Z}_{2}\times\mathbb{Z}_{2})$.

description: © 2018 The Author(s). Background: Clinical practice guidelines recommend exercise as the first line of management for hip osteoarthritis, yet high-quality evidence from Cochrane reviews suggest only slight benefits for pain and physical function; and no benefit on quality of life (low-quality evidence). However, the scope of physical impairments identified in people with hip osteoarthritis may not have been adequately addressed with targeted rehabilitation options in previous randomised controlled trials (RCTs). Potential targeted options include gait retraining to address spatiooral impairments in walking; motor control training to address deep gluteal (gluteus minimus) dysfunction; and progressive, high-intensity resistance exercises to address atrophy of the gluteal muscles. The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of a targeted gluteal rehabilitation programme that incorporates gait retraining, motor control and progressive, high-intensity resistance-strength training, to address physical activity levels and self-reported physical function in people with mild to moderate disability from hip osteoarthritis. Methods: Ninety people diagnosed with mild to moderately disabling hip osteoarthritis will be recruited and randomised to receive one of two exercise programmes (sham or GHOst programme). Interventions will be 12 weeks in duration, with weekly, supervised physiotherapy sessions, and daily home exercises. Both groups will receive standardised education. Outcomes will be assessed at baseline, 7 weeks, 13 weeks (primary time-point) and 25 weeks. The primary outcome will be self-reported physical function measured with the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC). Secondary outcomes include physical activity measured with a tri-axial accelerometer, physical function tests, self-reported physical activity, isometric hip-muscle strength tests, hip-related patient-reported outcome measures, pain thoughts and depressive symptoms, quality of life, global rating of change, gluteal-muscle activity (electromyography (EMG)) and gluteal-muscle size and adiposity (magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)). Discussion: This will be the first study to compare a targeted gluteal rehabilitation programme to a sham exercise programme. The targeted GHOst programme includes exercises designed to address gait impairments as well as gluteal-muscle atrophy and dysfunction.

description: This thesis focuses on public perception of the effectiveness of seven counterterrorism practices and policies. Using a survey of undergraduate and graduate students from 2005, this study examines two research questions: 1) Does the public believe specific counterterrorism strategies—installing video surveillance cameras in public places, conducting bag and package searches on planes, trains, subways and buses, monitoring internet communications, examining financial statements, monitoring telephone communications, reviewing library records and examining medical records—are effective, and 2) What factors influence perceptions of effectiveness? The results indicate that a vast majority of respondents believe that the practices are effective, with the exception of reviewing library records and examining medical records. Findings from multivariate analyses suggest that confidence in the government to prevent terrorism is a key predictor of perceived effectiveness across all seven practices.

description: The role played by the mutual information of subsystems on the Page curve is explored in this paper. With the total system consisting of the black hole and radiation, together with the inclusion of island, we observe that the vanishing of mutual information between $B_+$ and $B_-$ which in turn means the disconnected phase of the entanglement wedge corresponding to $B_+\cup B_-$, yields a time scale of the order of scrambling time. This results in a time independent expression for the fine grained entropy of Hawking radiation consistent with the correct Page curve. We also find corrections to this entropy and Page time which are logarithmic and inverse power law in form.

description: Oncogenic mutations in the small GTPase Ras contribute to ~30% of human cancers. However, Ras mutations alone are insufficient for tumorigenesis, therefore it is paramount to identify cooperating cancer-relevant signaling pathways. We devised an in vivo near genome-wide, functional screen in Drosophila and discovered multiple novel, evolutionarily-conserved pathways controlling Ras-driven epithelial tumorigenesis. Human gene orthologs of the fly hits were significantly downregulated in thousands of primary tumors, revealing novel prognostic markers for human epithelial tumors. Of the top 100 candidate tumor suppressor genes, 80 were validated in secondary Drosophila assays, identifying many known cancer genes and multiple novel candidate genes that cooperate with Ras-driven tumorigenesis. Low expression of the confirmed hits significantly correlated with the KRASG12 mutation status and poor prognosis in pancreatic cancer. Among the novel top 80 candidate cancer genes, we mechanistically characterized the function of the top hit, the Tetraspanin family member Tsp29Fb, revealing that Tsp29Fb regulates EGFR signaling, epithelial architecture and restrains tumor growth and invasion. Our functional Drosophila screen uncovers multiple novel and evolutionarily conserved epithelial cancer genes, and experimentally confirmed Tsp29Fb as a key regulator of EGFR/Ras induced epithelial tumor growth and invasion.

description: © 2018, Springer Nature Switzerland AG. Due to the proliferation of data and services in everyday life, we face challenges to ascertain all the necessary contexts and associated contextual conditions and enable applications to utilize relevant information about the contexts. The ability to control context-sensitive access to data resources has become ever more important as the form of the data varies and evolves rapidly, particularly with the development of smart Internet of Things (IoTs). This frequently results in dynamically evolving contexts. An effective way of addressing these issues is to model the dynamically changing nature of the contextual conditions and the transitions between these different dynamically evolving contexts. These contexts can be considered as different states and the transitions represented as state transitions. In this paper, we present a new framework for context-sensitive access control, to represent the dynamic changes to the contexts in real time. We introduce a state transition mechanism to model context changes that lead the transitions from initial states to target states. The mechanism is used to decide whether an access control decision is granted or denied according to the associated contextual conditions and controls data access accordingly. We introduce a Petri net model to specify the control flows for the transitions of states according to the contextual changes. A software prototype has been implemented employing our Petri net model for detection of such changes and making access control decisions accordingly. The advantages of our context-sensitive access control framework along with a Petri net model have been evaluated through two sets of experiments, especially by looking for re-evaluation of access control decisions when context changes. The experimental results show that having a state transition mechanism alongside the context-sensitive access control increases the efficiency of decision making capabilities compared to earlier approaches.

description: It is known that a party with access to a Deutschian closed timelike curve (D-CTC) can perfectly distinguish multiple non-orthogonal quantum states. In this paper, we propose a practical method for discriminating multiple non-orthogonal states, by using a previously known quantum circuit designed to simulate D-CTCs. This method relies on multiple copies of an input state, multiple iterations of the circuit, and a fixed set of unitary operations. We first characterize the performance of this circuit and study its asymptotic behavior. We also show how it can be equivalently recast as a local, adaptive circuit that may be implemented simply in an experiment. Finally, we prove that our state discrimination strategy achieves the multiple Chernoff bound when discriminating an arbitrary set of pure qubit states.

description: Science experts across the globe are requesting educators to teach science in authentic and inquiry-driven ways to prepare graduates to be scientifically literate citizens. Shifting from traditional teacher-centred approaches to models of authentic learning requires new and innovative resources. In an inquiry-driven human physiology curriculum an etextbook, How to Do Science: a guide to researching human physiology, was developed as an alternative to a traditional textbook and is an example of how professionally designed electronic textbooks can support new approaches to learning. While the advantages of OER have been documented internationally, there is little empirical evidence to indicate benefits of open etextbooks for students in Australia. This study found a majority of students prefer etextbooks compared to hardcopy textbooks, most often due to accessibility, ease of use and convenience. Regarding How to Do Science specifically, a majority of students rated accessibility, attractiveness, ease of navigation, and the quality of the content as high or very high. Students reported that the etextbook contributed most to their learning through assisting in completion of authentic scientific assessment tasks. The etextbook was designed for local use, however, the release as an OER has meant wider dissemination with more impact. We encourage educators to incorporate OERs into their practice.

description: The poster describes the architecture of one of the Sci-GaIA project "champion" use cases proposed for the e-Research Summer Hackfest (see http://www.sci-gaia.eu/summer-hackfest). The use case regards the devlopment of a National Public Health Gateway to mitigate the effects of motorcycle-related accidents in Kenya, which cause more deaths than those involving bicycles and cars. Whereas these fatalities are many, and in many cases avoidable, the persistence of this problem is worrying and it is a drain to the economy as well as a real concern for families. The Gateway will be used by Public Health experts and operators to publish data related to motorcycle accidents that will then be analysed on the cloud and used to proactively raise riders aware of “black spots” while they are driving on roads. The poster has been presented at the Sci-GaIA Workshop on "Open Science in Support of Education" held in Dar es Salaam (Tanzania) on the 5th of September 2016 (see http://agenda.ct.infn.it/e/sci-gaia-third-workshop).

description: Rankings represent the natural way to access the importance of a finite set of items. Ubiquitous in real-world applications and machine-learning methods, they mostly derive from automated or human-based importance score assignments. Many fields involving rankings, such as Recommender Systems, feature selection, and anomaly detection, overlap with human-derived scoring systems, such as candidate selection and operational risk assessments. Rankings are explicitly hard to evaluate; several challenges derive from concerned biases, fairness issues, and also from their derivation and evaluation. This thesis spins around deriving importance scores and rankings as solutions in various contexts and applications. Starting from unsupervised feature importance scores based on an unconventional use of Shapley values for unlabeled data, it will touch a more applied field with an ad-hoc unsupervised methodology for reducing the dimensionality of collections of gene sets. We then focus on feature importance scores in a time-dependent context, focusing on detecting correlational concept drifts in the univariate dimensions of unlabeled streaming data. The whole work is commonly characterized by seeking to improve abstract concepts of trustworthiness and reliability, with an open eye on the consistency of evaluations and methods. In this direction, we add insights into using saliency importance score assignments for interpreting time series classification methods and define desirable mathematical properties for ranking evaluation metrics. Furthermore, we use Shapley values to interpret unsupervised anomaly detection deep methods based on features bagging. Lastly, we introduce some future and current challenges related to fairness issues in rank aggregations and some possible extensions of the current work.

description: Science experts across the globe are requesting educators to teach science in authentic and inquiry-driven ways to prepare graduates to be scientifically literate citizens. Shifting from traditional teacher-centred approaches to models of authentic learning requires new and innovative resources. In an inquiry-driven human physiology curriculum an etextbook, How to Do Science: a guide to researching human physiology, was developed as an alternative to a traditional textbook and is an example of how professionally designed electronic textbooks can support new approaches to learning. While the advantages of OER have been documented internationally, there is little empirical evidence to indicate benefits of open etextbooks for students in Australia. This study found a majority of students prefer etextbooks compared to hardcopy textbooks, most often due to accessibility, ease of use and convenience. Regarding How to Do Science specifically, a majority of students rated accessibility, attractiveness, ease of navigation, and the quality of the content as high or very high. Students reported that the etextbook contributed most to their learning through assisting in completion of authentic scientific assessment tasks. The etextbook was designed for local use, however, the release as an OER has meant wider dissemination with more impact. We encourage educators to incorporate OERs into their practice.

description: La presente investigación tiene como finalidad determinar la ausencia de regulación en la transformación de las personas jurídicas no lucrativas, precisamente de las asociaciones, a personas jurídicas lucrativas y la limitación jurídica que se presenta en cuestión al tratamiento de su patrimonio. Es así, que estudiaremos a los diferentes tipos de personas jurídicas existentes en el Perú y analizaremos la reorganización de estas, las diferentes razones y la viabilidad de la transformación de las asociaciones a personas jurídicas lucrativas. Se realizará un análisis de las Resoluciones emitidas por el Tribunal Registral en relación a la transformación de asociaciones a personas jurídicas lucrativas y se contó además, con una población de 12 participantes pertenecientes a la Superintendencia Nacional de los Registros Públicos, Zona Registral N.XII - Sede Arequipa para la realización de una encuesta, con ello se demostrará la necesidad de realizarse una modificatoria en el Código Civil Peruano, sustentándose las razones de ello a efecto de buscar una solución al problema que se presenta en la investigación.
title: LNCRNAKB: A COMPREHENSIVE KNOWLEDGEBASE OF LONG NON-CODING RNAS

description: High throughput technologies such as next-generation sequencing technologies have allowed the genomic structure to be interrogated at high resolution and scale. That includes long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs), a class of non-protein-coding transcripts, that range from 200 nucleotides to 100 kb (approximately 10 kb on average). The number of estimated lncRNAs annotations in humans range from 20,000 to 100,000. There are several databases that exist for annotation of human lncRNAs. Most of these databases are available through web-based searchable interfaces. Our objective was to identify current and new lncRNAs databases, download and inspect their latest annotations, integrate this information into a single resource, and create the most comprehensive up- to-date knowledge base that encompasses data from all major resources. Specifically, we provide a “one- stop shop” in which users can search for lncRNAs based on any keywords for e.g. genomic locations, gene names and types. LncRNAs annotations are commonly used as references for quantifying and identifying differentially expressed genes and transcripts in RNA-seq experiments. We used the Genotype Tissue Expression (GTEx) project RNA-seq data to quantify all the lncRNAs in our knowledge base using 9,425 samples sequenced across 31 solid organ human normal tissues. We performed RNA-seq data analysis using a custom pipeline and created a comprehensive tissue- specific expression body map of human lncRNAs. The sequence-function relationship of lncRNAs is not well understood compared to protein-coding genes whose function can be deduced from primary sequence alone. In addition to understanding and improving the annotations of lncRNAs, we sought to predict and determine molecular, biological and disease functions of lncRNAs. We positionally classified and predicted the coding potential of all lncRNAs using a machine learning approach. Using whole genome sequence (WGS) genotype data from the GTEx project we also identified lncRNAs regulated by genetic variants in cis. We performed mRNA-lncRNA co-expression network analysis and identified co-expression gene modules involved in known biological processes thus, deducing the potential function of lncRNAs. Our objective was to functionally annotate and characterize lncRNAs in our knowledge base and provide a comprehensive resource to empower the research community.
Crashworthiness of a hybrid tube with an auxetic layer

description: Hybrid tubes of different forms have been designed and used in various sectors such as automotive, medical, pipeline, and aerospace industries for protective equipment, oesophageal stents, oil and gas pipes, and superior vibration dampers. Auxetic materials and structures have received increasing attention due to their unique properties such as negative Poisson's ratio. They laterally expand under uniaxial tension or laterally contract under uniaxial compression. In this work, an innovative hybrid tube with an auxetic tube as the outer tube and a conventional tube as the inner tube has been investigated. All the inner tubes were made of extruded aluminum alloy 6063 with T5 heat treatment, and the outer tubes were made of stainless steel 304 and 316L with oval holes, respectively. Quasi-static compressive tests have been conducted to study the crashworthiness of such hybrid tubes. The effects of outer tube material and geometry on the deformation mode, force–displacement curve and energy absorption of hybrid tubes have been discussed. The results show that the outer auxetic tube changes the deformation of the inner tube. The load carry capacity and energy absorption of a hybrid tube increase with the strength of the outer auxetic tube.

description: Nicotine has been shown to increase the risk of anxiety related disorders in adulthood (Slawecki, Gilder, Roth, & Ehlers, 2003). Early nicotine exposure may negatively affect the development of the adolescent brain(Morissette, Tull, Gulliver, Kamholz, & Zimering, 2007). The bed nucleus of the stria terminalis has been shown to have major projections to the PVNmp that regulates the brain and body’s reaction to stress as well as influences activity of the HPA axis. This study investigated morphological changes of dendrites on neurons located in the bed nucleus of the stria terminalis following adolescent nicotine exposure. Male Sprague-Dawley rats were administered nicotine (0.5mg/kg/day) 3 days a week for 2 consecutive weeks, starting at postnatal day P (32). 17 days following the end of dosing, at postnatal day P (60), brains were processed for Golgi-Cox staining and neurons were digitally reconstructed for branch order and Sholl(Sholl, 1953) analysis. Nicotine pretreatment produced an increase in the number of bifurcations and total length of dendrites. Nicotine pretreatment also increased the average length of dendrites, suggesting that growth of existing branches is occurring as well as formation of new branches. Sholl analysis also revealed an increase in the number of intersections with concentric spheres, increased amount of dendritic material within concentric spheres, and an increase of dendritic branching within concentric spheres occurring between 20-300μm from the soma in dendrites.
