description: This paper presents the outcome of a research collaboration between academia and industry to implement and utilize the capabilities of constrained interaction testing for an open-source tool for industrial-scale application. The project helps promote flexibility in generating constrained interaction test suites, executing them, and setting up a test oracle to report them--all within the same tool called Avocado. Avocado employs a constraint solver with computational algorithms to generate constrained interaction test suites. The environment of the application under test can be set up to execute the generated test suite with minimum effort. A test oracle can be set up by the tool to report the status and the results of the executed test cases. Avocado represents a comprehensive and flexible solution for conducting combinatorial interaction testing (CIT) and constrained CIT on an industrial application. In this paper, we present the structure of the tool and our method of implementing the algorithms in detail.

description: It is well known that the forestry sector is sensitive to climate change but most studies have examined impacts only through 2100 and warming of less than 4°C. This is the first timber analysis to consider possible climate change impacts out to 2250 and warming up to 11°C above 1900 levels. The results suggest that large productivity gains through 2190 lead to a continued expansion of the global timber supply. However, as carbon fertilization effects diminish and continued warming causes forestland to continue to shrink, warming above 8°C is predicted to become harmful to the forest sector.

description: We demonstrate a single-photon source based on a quantum dot in a micropost microcavity that exhibits a large Purcell factor together with a small multi-photon probability. For a quantum dot on resonance with the cavity, the spontaneous emission rate is increased by a factor of five, while the probability to emit two or more photons in the same pulse is reduced to 2% compared to a Poisson-distributed source of the same intensity. In addition to the small multi-photon probability, such a strong Purcell effect is important in a single-photon source for improving the photon outcoupling efficiency and the single-photon generation rate, and for bringing the emitted photon pulses closer to the Fourier transform limit.

title: The influence of stimulus control on the effects of transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) on experimental ischaemic pain
Creators: name: Kirk, Kerry Alicia
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 1998

description: A review of the relevant literature suggested a number of unresolved issues in the most efficacious use of TENS for pain-relief including the degree of control and the frequency of TENS. The study investigated the influence of giving subjects control of the TENS stimulus on reported pain intensity and unpleasantness during experimental ischaemic pain induction of the arm. The pain induction and assessment procedures were established during an initial series of three experiments. Subjects in these and the subsequent experiments were healthy female student volunteers from Queen Margaret College. A further series of experiments investigated the influence of control of the TENS intensity on VAS scores of pain intensity and unpleasantness. When used, TENS (symmetrical biphasic current; pulse duration 200ýts; intensity `just perceptible') was applied for the 15 minutes prior to cuff inflation and during the 15 minutes of pain induction (electrodes placed over Erb's point and lateral to C6/7). The first TENS experiment investigated the. influence of three different conditions (experimenter controlling TENS intensity; subject controlling TENS intensity; no TENS) using high frequency (100Hz) TENS. All subjects (n=12) were randomly exposed to the three testing conditions using a repeated measures design. A 2-way ANOVA with repeated measures on both factors showed no statistically significant effects (p>_0.05) on either VAS pain intensity or unpleasantness scores. The procedure was repeated with different subjects (n=12) using low frequency (5Hz) TENS. The results showed that mean pain scores were statistically significantly lower (p

A descriptive qualitative study of what informs and influences smoking behaviours in community dwelling persons with severe and persistent mental illness
Creators: name: Grant, Lyle George
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: Smoking establishes poor health trajectories and is the leading preventable cause of death in Canada. Individuals with severe and persistent mental illness (SPMI) have a prevalence of smoking 2 to 3 times that of the general population. While many are motivated to stop smoking, the quit rate in this group is low and their unique reasons for smoking not fully understood. Current understanding of tobacco use among those with SPMI largely comes from quantitative studies that have used pre-determined frameworks for understanding factors that affect and influence smoking behaviours. Little is known about the perspectives of those with SPMI. In this descriptive qualitative study semi-structured interviews were conducted with thirteen community dwelling persons with SPMI to explore what informs and influences their smoking behaviours. The findings provide an understanding of the importance of smoking to the lives of those with SPMI. For most of the participants, smoking began as an anticipated positive enhancement of their self-esteem and/or identity, but evolved into a stigma with associated negative consequences. Participants perceived smoking as affecting their image, influencing social relations, and helping them adjust to mood changes. Participants revealed the complex ways in which they experienced smoking both as a group and as individuals, and in so doing illustrated the various agents that shape individual health choices around smoking. This study presents unique perspectives from participants' about their motivations for smoking, how they view themselves in relation to smoking, and what factors are important in influencing their personal behaviours around smoking. This study offers important opportunity for increased understanding and contains various recommendations for further inquiry and study.
Trapping Majorana Zero Modes in Vortices of Magnetic Texture Crystals Coupled to Nodal Superconductors

description: We propose a mechanism for opening a full bulk energy gap and inducing vortex Majorana zero modes (MZMs) in nodal superconductors (SCs). We show that this becomes possible by coupling the nodal SC of interest to a magnetic texture crystal. The latter consists of superpositions of magnetic textures which repeat periodically in space according to suitable wave vectors that enable spin-flip scattering between all pairs of nodes of the SC, and thus open a full gap in its bulk energy spectrum. In this event, MZMs can be trapped in spin or shift vortices introduced in the magnetic texture crystal. Our approach is generic and applies to nodal SCs of spin-singlet, -triplet, or -mixed type of pairing. Therefore, it promises to find application in a variety of nodal SCs, where the magnetic textures appear either spontaneously due to electron-electron interactions, or are imposed by nanomagnets, or become induced by coupling to a lattice of localized magnetic moments.

description: We consider the scalar wave equation in the Kerr geometry for Cauchy data which is smooth and compactly supported outside the event horizon. We derive an integral representation which expresses the solution as a superposition of solutions of the radial and angular ODEs which arise in the separation of variables. In particular, we prove completeness of the solutions of the separated ODEs. This integral representation is a suitable starting point for a detailed analysis of the long-time dynamics of scalar waves in the Kerr geometry.

description: Recent measurements of various charm-hadron ratios in $pp$, $p$-Pb and Pb-Pb collisions at the LHC have posed challenges to the theoretical understanding of heavy-quark hadronization. The $Λ_c/D^0$ ratio in $pp$ and $p$-Pb collisions shows larger values than those found in $e^+e^-$ and $ep$ collisions and predicted by Monte-Carlo event generators based on string fragmentation, at both low and intermediate transverse momenta ($p_T$). In AA collisions, the $D_s/D$ ratio is significantly enhanced over its values in $pp$, while the $Λ_c/D^0$ data indicates a further enhancement at intermediate $p_T$. Here, we report on our recent developments for a comprehensive description of the charm hadrochemistry and transport in $pp$ and $AA$ collisions. For $pp$ collisions we find that the discrepancy between the $Λ_c/D^0$ data and model predictions is much reduced by using a statistical hadronization model augmented by a large set of "missing" states in the charm-baryon spectrum, contributing to the $Λ_c$ via decay feeddown. For $AA$ collisions, we develop a 4-momentum conserving resonance recombination model for charm-baryon formation implemented via event-by-event simulations that account for space-momentum correlations (SMCs) in transported charm- and thermal light-quark distributions. The SMCs, together with the augmented charm-baryon states, are found to play an important role in describing the baryon-to-meson enhancement at intermediate momenta. We emphasize the importance of satisfying the correct (relative) chemical equilibrium limit when computing the charm hadrochemistry and its momentum dependence with coalescence models.

description: Atrazine and dalapon are used as post-emergence herbicides in corn. Dalapon is also recommended as a pre-plant soil treatment for soybean. However, the high rates of atrazine used with pre-emergence applications in corn result in the build-up of residues which adversely affect the ensuing crops of the rotation. The application of low rates of atrazine in such grain/legume rotation is desirable. The use of spray oils as an adjuvant in atrazine/dalapon mixtures would therefore be advantageous since the oil increases the post-emergence activities of atrazine. The current trial was conducted to determine the optimum levels of atrazine and dalapon, in an oil/ water emulsion, consistent with proper weed control and good corn production under Chaguaramas conditions. A simple randomised block design trial was conducted on weeds in corn (var. X 304B) grown at Tucker Valley, Chaguaramas. There were 14 treatments, replicated three times in three blocks and included four rates of a atrazine (0 to 2.24 kg. a.i. per hectare); in factorial combination with three rates of dalapon (0 to 1.12 kg. a.i. per hectare); giving 12 treatments, and two controls; an unweeded and a weed-free achieved by paraquat applications. The atrazine and/or dalapon were carried in oil/water emulsions, and applied post-emergence to the weeds and corn seedlings. Increments of atrazine and dalapon up to 1.12 kg. a.i. per hectare suppressed weed growth; the spray oil/herbicide mixture with atrazine and dalapon at 1.12 kg. a.i. per hectare respectively was the most effective suppressor of weed growth. The blanket spray application of the herbicide/oil emulsion did not affect adversely plant stand and seedling growth. In fact, grain yield increased with increments of atrazine ait the middle and high levels of dalapon. The mixture of atrazine and dalapon at 1.12 kg. a.i. and 0.56 kg. a.i. per hectare respectively in the oil/water emulsion seems to be the most suitable formulation.

description: In the earlier work1 by Datta et al the important hydrodynamic properties like radius of gyration (Rg) and root mean square end to end separation (Rrms) can be calculated through the known value of molecular weight (M). The mathematical modelling was done by polynomial regression through a standard software like curve finder. The present work correlates the most important viscometric property , Diffusion coefficient (D)2,3 with the same hydrodynamic properties like radius of gyration (Rg) i.e. D (Rg) of the biopolymers. It is expected that a bulky biopolymer of Random Coil with high molecular weight diffuse more slowly through a solvent than the Random Coil of low.

Deformed dimensional regularization for odd (and even) dimensional theories

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2004
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: I formulate a deformation of the dimensional-regularization technique that is useful for theories where the common dimensional regularization does not apply. The Dirac algebra is not dimensionally continued, to avoid inconsistencies with the trace of an odd product of gamma matrices in odd dimensions. The regularization is completed with an evanescent higher-derivative deformation, which proves to be efficient in practical computations. This technique is particularly convenient in three dimensions for Chern-Simons gauge fields, two-component fermions and four-fermion models in the large N limit, eventually coupled with quantum gravity. Differently from even dimensions, in odd dimensions it is not always possible to have propagators with fully Lorentz invariant denominators. The main features of the deformed technique are illustrated in a set of sample calculations. The regularization is universal, local, manifestly gauge-invariant and Lorentz invariant in the physical sector of spacetime. In flat space power-like divergences are set to zero by default. Infinitely many evanescent operators are automatically dropped.

description: Second order beta-decay processes with and without neutrinos in the final state are key probes of nuclear physics and of the nature of neutrinos. Neutrinoful double-beta decay is the rarest Standard Model process that has been observed and provides a unique test of the understanding of weak nuclear interactions. Observation of neutrinoless double-beta decay would reveal that neutrinos are Majorana fermions and that lepton number conservation is violated in nature. While significant progress has been made in phenomenological approaches to understanding these processes, establishing a connection between these processes and the physics of the Standard Model and beyond is a critical task as it will provide input into the design and interpretation of future experiments. The strong-interaction contributions to double-beta decay processes are non-perturbative and can only be addressed systematically through a combination of lattice Quantum Chromoodynamics (LQCD) and nuclear many-body calculations. In this review, current efforts to establish the LQCD connection are discussed for both neutrinoful and neutrinoless double-beta decay. LQCD calculations of the hadronic contributions to the neutrinoful process $nn\to pp e^- e^- \barν_e\barν_e$ and to various neutrinoless pionic transitions are reviewed, and the connections of these calculations to the phenomenology of double-beta decay through the use of effective field theory (EFTs) is highlighted. At present, LQCD calculations are limited to small nuclear systems, and to pionic subsystems, and require matching to appropriate EFTs to have direct phenomenological impact. However, these calculations have already revealed qualitatively that there are terms in the EFTs that can only be constrained from double-beta decay processes themselves or using inputs from LQCD. Future prospects for direct calculations in larger nuclei are also discussed.

description: The importance of weeds in reducing corn and peanut yields, and the nee^ for control of weeds early in the crops' lifespan are stressed. Some of the advantages and disadvantages of herbicides vis-a-vis manual methods for the smaller farmers are discussed. A tentative list of the major weeds of arable land in the Caribbean Region comprises nine grass species (or genera where several species of a genusare important), four broad-leaved species or genera, and Cyperus rotundas (nutgrass). Nine herbicides are recommended for corn, and nine for peanuts, of which two are provisional recommendations. Interactions of weed control, particularly by herbicides, with rainfall and soil moisture conditions and with several agronomic factors are discussed, and finally the importance of developing production packages to include weed control as an integral part is emphasized.
Wirkungen des pleistozänen Bodenfrostes in den Sedimenten der Niederrheinischen Bucht: Ein Beitrag zur Kenntnis der Periglazialerscheinungen der Rheinlande
Creators: name: Kaiser, Karlheinz

description: Periglazialerscheinungen des quartären Eiszeitalters kommen in der Niederrheinischen Bucht in mannigfaltiger Fülle vor. Ihre vielgestaltige Ausbildung ist der Gunst geologisch-morphologischer Voraussetzungen zuzuschreiben. Schon seit langer Zeit standen sie im Blickpunkt wissenschaftlicher Erforschung. Diese beschränkte sich jedoch allzu sehr auf die Darstellung einzelner Phänomene in meist räumlich viel zu enger Sicht. Auch im Hinblick auf die Bodenfrostformen des quartären Eiszeitalters in der Niederrheinischen Bucht mangelt es nicht an Beschreibungen einzelner Erscheinungen. So sind – wenn wir uns auf den deutschen Anteil beschränken – die wegweisenden Untersuchungen von A. STEEGER (1926, 1944, 1948) über frostgestauchte Böden am unteren Niederrhein, die Abhandlungen von H. LEHMANN (1948) über Periglazialerscheinungen in der Umgebung von Bonn, von P. PRUSKOWSKI (1952, 1954) über Bodenfrostbildungen im Deckgebirge der Rheinischen Braunkohle und von U. STEUSLOFF (1951) über peri glaziale Böden aus zwei Eiszeiten im Löß bei Rheindahlen, oder die Beschreibung zahlreicher Eiskeile und Kryoturbationen in den Terrassensedimenten der Niederrheinischen Bucht vom Verf. (1956, 1957), ferner die Deutung vertikal verschlungener „Sandgänge" als Eiskeilnetz im deutsch-holländischen Grenzgebiet des Brachter Waldes durch R. WOLTERS (1950) zu erwähnen. Noch zahlreicher sind indessen die Beobachtungen über Bodenfrostbildungen, die aus dem benachbarten niederländischen Raume mitgeteilt wurden, und es darf in diesem Zusammenhang darauf hingewiesen werden, daß der heute international übliche Begriff „Kryoturbation" überhaupt dort entstand (C. H . EDELMANN, F. FLORSCHÜTZ & J . JESWIET 1936). "Gegenstand vorliegender Arbeit ist eine zusammenfassende Untersuchung der Wirkungen des pleistozänen Bodenfrostes innerhalb der Niederrheinischen Bucht: der Eiskeile und ähnlichen Formen, der Kryoturbationen und der Wirkungen der Frostsprengung. Besondere Berücksichtigung soll dabei den syngenetischen Erscheinungen zukommen, da sie für die klimazeitliche Stellung der Sedimente, in denen sie auftreten, von hohem Wert sind. In großem Maße trifft das für die Terrassensedimente der Niederrheinischen Bucht zu, deren klimazeitliche Stellung im Eiszeitalter zum großen Teil ja noch recht ungewiß ist, und zu deren Klärung gerade die syngenetischen Bodenfrostformen einen wertvollen Beitrag liefern können.

description: Charged hadrons (0.15 < pt < 4 GeV/c) associated with a large pt trigger particle (4 < pt < 6 GeV/c) are statistically reconstructed in the large acceptance STAR TPC for p+p and Au+Au collisions at sqrt(s_NN)=200 GeV. Preliminary results on transverse momentum distributions of these hadrons are presented, separately on the near and away side from the trigger particle. An increase in the multiplicity and total scalar pt of these hadrons from p+p to central Au+Au collisions is observed. The away side distribution is found to be significantly softened in central Au+Au with respect to p+p collisions. The results are consistent with modification of jets in heavy ion collisions at RHIC.

description: In the past decade, Hungary and Poland have experienced a process of rule of law backsliding that threatens the state of democracy at home, and affects the decision making and legitimacy of the European Union as a whole. In the face of Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine, the response of Hungary and Poland has been diametrically opposed, but equally damaging to the EU rule of law. The present Insight will analyse the response of these two member states to the Russian invasion, and it will argue that the war has highlighted major pitfalls in the EU’s policy toward backsliding governments, which continue to benefit from funds and veto powers, undermining the EU’s effectiveness in the process. However, a renewed fight for democracy in Europe could offer the perfect opportunity to be tough on autocrats inside and outside the Union.
Sedimentologische Zuordnung saalezeitlicher Gletscherablagerungen zu mehreren Vorstößen am unteren Niederrhein

description: Beim Vorstoß sowie Rückzug des Eises werden Sandersedimente abgelagert. Sie setzen sich aus gröberen Vorschütt- und feineren Nachschüttsanden zusammen, die (meistens) durch eine Grundmoräne voneinander getrennt sind. Vorschüttsand, Grundmoräne und Nachschüttsand bilden einen glaziären Zyklus. Fehlt die Grundmoräne, so ist eine genetische Gliederung der Sedimente in eine Vorstoß- und Rückzugsphase erschwert. Bei der Sedimentuntersuchung zeigte sich, daß einzelne Korngrößenfraktionen für eine Gliederung des Sanders kaum von Bedeutung sind. Die Zusammenfassung von Korngrößenfraktionen zu Korngrößengruppen (Tab. 1) ermöglichte eine exakte Gliederung der Sandersedimente und damit die genetische Ansprache der Gletscherablagerungen am unteren Niederrhein. Aufgrund der Einlagerung von Grundmoränenmaterial in den Sandersedimenten konnten für das Drenthe-Stadial im Raum Louisendorf-Moyland drei Eisvorstöße nachgewiesen werden.

description: We present a modification of Simon's algorithm that in some cases is able to fit experimentally obtained data to appropriately chosen trial functions with high probability. Modulo constants pertaining to the reliability and probability of success of the algorithm, the algorithm runs using only O(polylog(|Y|)) queries to the quantum database and O(polylog(|X|,|Y|)) elementary quantum gates where |X| is the size of the experimental data set and |Y| is the size of the parameter space.We discuss heuristics for good performance, analyze the performance of the algorithm in the case of linear regression, both one-dimensional and multidimensional, and outline the algorithm's limitations.

description: During the short raining season of 1975 - 1977 a 1.05 ha plot was planted to maize at the experimental farm of Tijgerkreek-West in the coastal plain of Suriname. The crop was grown using standard cultivation practices. The inputs in terms of labour, machine-hours and materials were carefully recorded from day tot day. The yield was 4650 kg/ha at acostprice of Sf. 0.30 per kg (1-US $ = Sf. 1.80).

description: Between 1966 and 1977 the local production of groundnuts dropped from 827 tons in 1966 (local area 712 ha) to 338 tons in 1977 (local area 282 ha). After 1966 the import of groundnuts increased rapidly and at this moment the import of groundnuts (in 1977: 446 tons) is more than the local production (in 1977: 338 tons). It is of great importance to increase the local production as much as possible and decrease the import. The required area to substitute the import of groundnuts is about 400 ha. Research was done by the author in order to find out "which type of soil was the most suitable and the total acreage of these soils. The requirements with respect to soil properties for groundnut culture are: a. texture: loamy sand or sandy loam or sand with some organic matter b. drainage class: moderately well drained or well drained c. no impermeable or slowly permeable layer within a depth of 100 cm d. at least 0,6 meq Ca/100 gram of soil More than 80% of the local area lies on soils suitable for groundnut culture. In the young coastal plain the suitable soils occur on the shell — and sand ridges of the Comowine — and Molesonphase and on sand ridges of the Wanicaphase. In the old coastal plain the suitable soils occur on sand ridges of the Lelydorp landscape. In the Zandery belt and the terraces the suitable soils occur mostly on plateaus and sometimes on slopes. The most important possibilities for enlargement of groundnut culture are on the Zandery belt and the young coastal plain. On the Zandery belt fertilization with Ca is necessary. The total area of the suitable soils is several times more than the required area to substitute the import.

description: In Suriname groundnuts are grown on sandy ridges in the coastal area. Farmers' plots are small. Labour is scarce and the possibilities for mechanization are limited. As a result the total groundnut acreage is gradually decreasing. Large areas of sandy soil occur immediately south of the coastal clay belt. They vary in texture from sands to sandy loam and seem suitable for mechanized crop production. The potential of these soils, particularly the sandy loams, for annual crops is being studied in an experimental farm named Coebiti. One of the crops is groundnuts of which various agronomic aspects have been studied so far. The present paper summarizes the main results of experiments on the subjects of liming, plant density and spacing, and Cercospora leaf spot control, that were carried out in the period 1972-1975.
Depression as a risk factor for mortality and disease progression in cancer patients : a meta-analysis
Creators: name: Satin, Jillian Robyn
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: Depression is the most common psychological problem affecting cancer patients. While there is a growing body of research linking depression to physiological mediators of cancer progression, evidence for the effect of depression on cancer mortality and progression is mixed. Researchers continue to investigate the impact of psychological intervention on physical outcomes of cancer before resolving whether depression affects these outcomes in the first place. The present meta-analysis synthesizes the body of work that has examined the effect of depression on cancer mortality and progression. Using two databases (PsycInfo and Medline), a search was performed to identify articles that examined the effect of depression on cancer mortality or progression. The references of the identified articles were then examined for other relevant articles. The inclusion criteria were met by 42 publications reporting on 41 studies and 14 publications reporting on 13 studies measuring progression. Using a random-effects model, odds ratios (OR), risk ratios (RR), and hazard ratios (HR) are presented as estimates of the combined overall effect of depression. There is some support for the effect of depression on mortality in cancer patients, (OR = 1.281 ;CI, 1.077-1.523, p=.005; HR = 1.095; 1.027, 1.027-1.167, p = .006), but not on progression (OR=1.043; CI, .860-1.265, p = .668: HR = 1.038; CI, .999-1.078, p = .053). There is a significant effect of depression on cancer mortality, though the magnitude is small. Difficulties in interpretation are discussed. This finding fuels future work to identify subgroups of patients for whom depression has a greater effect on physical outcomes in cancer.

description: In spite of the fact that research on peanut began 75 years ago and positive results were obtained, peanut cultivation in Suriname is still in its primitive form, which essentially means that a wide gulf exists between scientists/administrators and farmers. This gap needs be bridged by reorienting strategies and their effective implementation to equip the farmers with latest technology and resources in order to generate farmers interest in peanut cultivation.
