description: Background: Studies have identified differential substance use patterns by racial groups. One of the most commonly reported differences is a higher rate of injection drug use (IDU) among Non-Hispanic Whites compared to African Americans, but this is complicated by factors related to IDU (e.g. earlier drug-use initiation) that overlap with being White. Objective: We explored differential substance use-patterns by racial groups within a sample of injection heroin users. Methods: Substance-use data were collected from 373 not-in-treatment heroin users who endorsed any lifetime injection use (69.4% male). We examined differences in substance-use patterns (e.g. age of initiation, gateway adherence) by racial groups. Multiple t-tests with Bonferroni correction were conducted to understand which demographic and substance-use characteristics varied by racial groups. Results: Relative to Non-Hispanic Whites, African Americans (45.8% of sample) were more likely to start using heroin earlier in their life, but also more likely to experience a longer delay between starting and regularly using heroin. We also identified differences in the degree of (injection) heroin-use consequences by racial groups. After correcting for multiple comparisons and controlling for age and gender, we observed differences for six substance-use and demographic characteristics by racial group. White participants were younger, started cocaine use earlier, and experienced more heroin-use consequences across two separate domains. Conclusions: After controlling for injection use, we observed differential substance-use characteristics by racial groups. The findings could be used to develop targeted prevention and harm-reduction strategies.

description: Phenotypic switching is the main cause of the abnormal proliferation and migration of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs). We previously showed that Daxx exerted negative regulatory effect on AngII-induced VSMC proliferation and migration. However, the function of Daxx in VSMC phenotype switching remained unknown. Nicotinate-curcumin (NC) is an esterification derivative of niacin and curcumin that can prevent the formation of atherosclerosis. We found that NC significantly decreased AngII-induced VSMC phenotype switching. Furthermore, NC significantly inhibited AngII-induced cell proliferation and migration. Moreover, NC upregulated Daxx expression and regulated the PTEN/Akt signaling pathway. We concluded that NC inhibited AngII-induced VSMC phenotype switching by regulating the PTEN/Akt pathway, and through a mechanism that might be associated with the upregulation of Daxx expression.

How cold gas continuously entrains mass and momentum from a hot wind

Subjects: subject: Astrophysics of Galaxies (astro-ph.GA)

description: The existence of fast moving, cold gas ubiquitously observed in galactic winds is theoretically puzzling, since the destruction time of cold gas is much smaller than its acceleration time. In previous work, we showed that cold gas can accelerate to wind speeds and grow in mass if the radiative cooling time of mixed gas is shorter than the cloud destruction time. Here, we study this process in much more detail, and find remarkably robust cloud acceleration and growth in a wide variety of scenarios. Radiative cooling, rather than the Kelvin-Helmholtz instability, enables self-sustaining entrainment of hot gas onto the cloud via cooling-induced pressure gradients. Indeed, growth peaks when the cloud is almost co-moving. The entrainment velocity is of order the cold gas sound speed, and growth is accompanied by cloud pulsations. Growth is also robust to the background wind and initial cloud geometry. In an adiabatic Chevalier-Clegg type wind, for instance, the mass growth rate is constant. Although growth rates are similar with magnetic fields, cloud morphology changes dramatically, with low density, magnetically supported filaments which have a small mass fraction but dominate by volume. This could bias absorption line observations. Cloud growth from entraining and cooling hot gas can potentially account for the cold gas content of the CGM. It can also fuel star formation in the disk as cold gas recycled in a galactic fountain accretes and cools halo gas. We speculate that galaxy-scale simulations should converge in cold gas mass once cloud column densities of ${\rm N} \sim 10^{18} \ {\rm cm^{-2}}$ are resolved.

Swing wave-wave interaction: Coupling between fast magnetosonic and Alfv{é}n waves

Year: 2002
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)

description: We suggest a mechanism of energy transformation from fast magnetosonic waves propagating across a magnetic field to Alfv{é}n waves propagating along the field. The mechanism is based on {\it swing wave-wave interaction} [T.V. Zaqarashvili, Astrophys. J. Lett. {\bf 552}, 107 (2001)]. The standing fast magnetosonic waves cause a periodical variation in the Alfv{é}n speed, with the amplitude of an Alfv{é}n wave being governed by Mathieu's equation. Consequently, sub-harmonics of Alfv{é}n waves with a frequency half that of magnetosonic waves grow exponentially in time. It is suggested that the energy of nonelectromagnetic forces, which are able to support the magnetosonic oscillations, may be transmitted into the energy of purely magnetic oscillations. Possible astrophysical applications of the mechanism are briefly discussed.

description: Non-communicable and chronic diseases (NCDs) encompass enduring conditions like cardiovascular disease, cancer, diabetes, and chronic respiratory issues. These NCDs contribute significantly to global disability and mortality, causing 41 million deaths annually. They are responsible for 71% of all deaths globally, a concerning trend on the rise. Addressing NCDs' risk factors and strategies has gained paramount global attention. Strategies for NCD prevention and control have evolved over the past four decades, driven by a population-based and prevention-oriented approach. Research increasingly attributes NCD occurrence to interconnected risk factors including genetics, lifestyle, metabolism, and social determinants. Recognizing this complexity, the World Health Organization (WHO) and China adopt integrated approaches to combat NCDs on a global and national scale. [...]

description: The VST (VLT Survey Telescope) is a 2.6 m class Alt-Az telescope to be installed on Cerro Paranal in the Atacama desert, Northern Chile, in the European Southern Observatory (ESO) site. The VST is a wide-field imaging facility planned to supply databases for the ESO Very Large Telescope (VLT) science and carry out stand-alone observations in the UV to I spectral range. So far no telescope has been dedicated entirely to surveys; the VST will be the first survey telescope to start the operation, as a powerful survey facility for the VLT observatory. This paper will focus on the axes motion control system. The dynamic model of the telescope will be analyzed, as well as the effect of the wind disturbance on the telescope performance. Some algorithms for the telescope position control will be briefly discussed.

Is the Jump-Diffusion Model a Good Solution for Credit Risk Modeling? The Case of Convertible Bonds

description: This paper argues that the reduced-form jump diffusion model may not be appropriate for credit risk modeling. To correctly value hybrid defaultable financial instruments, e.g., convertible bonds, we present a new framework that relies on the probability distribution of a default jump rather than the default jump itself, as the default jump is usually inaccessible. As such, the model can back out the market prices of convertible bonds. A prevailing belief in the market is that convertible arbitrage is mainly due to convertible underpricing. Empirically, however, we do not find evidence supporting the underpricing hypothesis. Instead, we find that convertibles have relatively large positive gammas. As a typical convertible arbitrage strategy employs delta-neutral hedging, a large positive gamma can make the portfolio highly profitable, especially for a large movement in the underlying stock price.

description: METATHERIANS EXCEPT DELTATHERIDIUM
This clade is supported by three unambiguous and two ambiguous synapomorphies.
 In metatherians and eutherians, the cavum epiptericum has a complete floor mainly formed by the alisphenoid (2 1> 2, RI = 0.750) (Wible, 1990: fig. 5.2D). In some metatherians, this floor may be completed by the petrosal (i.e. Deltatheridium and Gurlin Tsav Skull, see Rougier et al., 1998; Mayulestes, Pucadelphys, Andinodelphys).
 The internal acoustic meatus is subequal to the fossa subarcuata and separated from the latter by a sharp wall (8 1> 0, RI = 0.286), but this feature is highly convergent among the metatherians studied here.
 The lateral wall of the epitympanic recess formed by the petrosal (either adjoined or not by the squamosal) is generally present in most therians (30 0> 1, RI = 0.667). In the outgroup taxa, the epitympanic recess, when present, is only bordered by the squamosal.
 A hypotympanic sinus is formed by the squamosal, petrosal, and alisphenoid (46 0> 1, RI = 0.714) in Didelphodon, Mayulestes, and borhyaenids, whereas it is formed by the petrosal and alisphenoid in didelphids, Dromiciops, and dasyurids. Pediomys have an alisphenoid hypotympanic sinus, but the contributing elements are uncertain (Wible et al., 2001). This character may represent a synapomorphy of the clade formed by metatherians except Deltatheridium (reversal in Didelphodon and Mayulestes).

description: Developing advanced diagnosis tools to detect cyber attacks is the key to security of power systems. It has been shown that multivariate data injection attacks can bypass bad data detection schemes typically built on static behavior of the systems, which misleads operators to disruptive decisions. In this article, we depart from the existing static viewpoint to develop a diagnosis filter that captures the dynamics signatures of such a multivariate intrusion. To this end, we introduce a dynamic residual generator approach formulated as robust optimization programs in order to detect a class of disruptive multivariate attacks that potentially remain stealthy in view of a static bad data detector. We investigate two possible desired features: (i) a non-zero transient and (ii) a non-zero steady-state behavior of the residual generator in the presence of an attack. In case (i), the problem is reformulated as a finite, but possibly non-convex, optimization program. We further develop a linear programming relaxation that improves the scalability, and as such practicality, of the diagnosis filter design. In case (ii), it turns out that the resulting robust program admits an exact convex reformulation, yielding a Nash equilibrium between the attacker and the residual generator. This assertion has an interesting implication: the proposed approach is not conservative in the sense that the additional knowledge of the worst-case attack does not improve the diagnosis performance. To illustrate our theoretical results, we implement the proposed diagnosis filter to detect multivariate attacks on the system measurements deployed to generate the so-called Automatic Generation Control signals in a three-area IEEE 39-bus system.

description: The time displacement hypothesis has been widely used to explain the effects of media use on academic performance. This approach has been criticised for its monocausality and weak explanatory power. Utilising a combination of different theoretical perspectives is better suited than utilising only one. Considering displacement, excitement, attraction and third variable hypothesis, this paper argues that the relation between video game use and school performance is not the same for all types of gamers by considering the influence of socioeconomic, psychological and contextual factors. It investigates how gaming patterns (frequency, time of day) and psychological characteristics (sensation seeking, aggression) are related to academic performance for primary and secondary school students. Five hundred and seven students from five primary and four secondary schools in Singapore participated in a paper-pencil survey. Results showed support for a combination of displacement and third variable hypothesis, as overall time spent on video games was negatively associated with primary school children’s and active gamers’ school performances. There was no significant relationship for secondary school children. For primary school children who play games in the morning and afternoon, video game use was negatively associated with school performance. There was no support for the attraction and excitement hypotheses.

description: The mass-transport induced by crossed surface waves consists of the Stokes and Euler contributions which are very different in nature. The first contribution is a generalization of Stokes drift for a plane wave in ideal fluid and the second contribution arises due to the fluid viscosity and it is excited by a force applied in the viscous sublayer near the fluid surface. We study the formation and decay of the induced mass-transport theoretically and experimentally and demonstrate that both contributions have different time scales for typical experimental conditions. The evolution of the Euler contribution is described by a diffusion equation, where the fluid kinematic viscosity plays the role of the diffusion coefficient, while the Stokes contribution evolves faster, feeling the additional damping near the system boundaries. The difference becomes more pronounced if the fluid surface is contaminated. We model the effect of contamination by a thin insoluble liquid film presented on the fluid surface with the compression modulus being the only non-zero rheological parameter of the film. Then the Euler contribution into the mass-transport becomes parametrically larger and the evolution of the Stokes contribution becomes parametrically faster. The parameter is the same in both cases and it is equal to the quality factor of surfaces waves, which is modified by the presence of a surface film. We infer the value of the compression modulus of the film by fitting the results of transient measurements of eddy currents and demonstrate that the obtained value leads to the correct ratio of amplitudes of horizontal and vertical velocities of the wave motion and is in reasonable agreement with the measured dissipation rate of surface waves.

description: The integer quantum Hall to insulator transition (IQHIT) is a paradigmatic quantum critical point. Key aspects of this transition, however, remain mysterious, due to the simultaneous effects of quenched disorder and strong interactions. We study this transition using a composite fermion (CF) representation, which incorporates some of the effects of interactions. As we describe, the transition also marks a IQHIT of CFs: this suggests that the transition may exhibit `self-duality'. We show the explicit equivalence of the electron and CF Lagrangians at the critical point via the corresponding non-linear sigma models, revealing the self-dual nature of the transition. We show analytically that the resistivity tensor at the critical point is $ρ^c_{xx} = ρ^c_{xy} = \frac{h}{e^2}$, which are consistent with the expectations of self-duality, and in rough agreement with experiments.

description: We use an iterative generalized least squares map-making algorithm, in conjunction with Monte Carlo techniques, to obtain estimates of the angular power spectrum from cosmic microwave background (CMB) maps. This is achieved by characterizing and removing the instrumental noise contribution in multipole space. This technique produces unbiased estimates and can be applied to an arbitrary experiment. In this paper, we use it on realistic simulations of Planck Low Frequency Instrument (LFI) observations, showing that it can lead to fast and reliable estimation of the CMB angular power spectrum from megapixel maps.

description: KOMBUISIA FRERENSIS HOTTON, 1974
 Holotype: BP/1/430, an almost complete small skull with lower jaws. The specimen was originally catalogued as USNM 22936 in the National Museum of Natural History (Smithsonian Institution) in Washington, DC, but was transferred to the Bernard Price Institute of Palaeontological Research in Johannesburg after its designation as holotype of Kombuisia frerensis.
 Type locality: BP/1/430 was collected about 1.6 km south of the farm Lady Frere, Eastern Cape Province, South Africa. The deposits exposed at the locality belong to the Burgersdorp Formation (Beaufort Group) of the Karoo Basin. This formation is late Early to Middle Triassic in age and corresponds to the Cynognathus Assemblage Zone (AZ) (Hancox & Rubidge, 2001). More specifically, BP/1/430 was found in subzone B (early Anisian) of the Cynognathus AZ.
 Referred specimens: NM QR1835, a snout and dentaries.
 Distribution: The two only known specimens (BP/1/ 430 and NM QR1835) that have been referred to Kombuisia frerensis are from the Burgersdorp Formation, which outcrops only in the eastern part of the South African Karoo Basin.
 Stratigraphic range: BP/1/430 and NM QR1835 were both collected in the middle part of the Burgersdorp
 Formation, which corresponds to the early Anisian subzone B of the Cynognathus AZ.
 Revised diagnosis: Edentulous kingoriid dicynodont autapomorphic in its possession of the following characters: absence of a pineal foramen, an inverted triangular shape of the interparietal bone, lack of fusion of articular and prearticular bones, and presence of an elongate, slender parietal posterolateral process that extends onto the occipital edge of the skull roof.

title: Climate Change Impact Risk on Critical Infrastructure Interdependency
Creators: name: Owusu, Albert Henry
Publisher: name: Griffith University

Subjects: subject: Civil infrastructure
subject: Climatic change

description: Critical infrastructure is a term used by governments to describe assets that are essential for the functioning of a modern society and its economy. Most commonly associated with this term are facilities for water supply, oil and gas distribution, power grids, telecommunications, transportation, financial services (banking and finance), and security services (military, police, etc.). Scholarly risk research on critical infrastructures has been motivated by fear of attack since September, 2001. Although, it may seem reasonable that protection from attack would include climate change impact, this has not been the case. Therefore, a research gap on climate change impact risk assessment on critical infrastructures, and their interdependencies , exists. This study attempts to fulfil two purposes in this regard: 1) the assessment of climate change impact risk; and 2) the propagation of the risk due to interdependency. Although, climate change impact is the primary interest in this study, the impact coverag could be extended to include other impacts, either natural and/or man-made, which have drawn worldwide economic concern. Since infrastructures are connected, it is insufficient to assess impact on one without considering the consequences on the dependent others. This problem of determining the impact cascading from one critical infrastructure to another , as well as throughout an entire economy, with detrimental consequences, has attained equal impetus. For example, the recent global financial crisis has exacerbated concerns about risk due to interdependency. Thus, the drive into interdependency analysis is imperative when assessing the impact risk from one location, and the subsequent ripple impacts among the interconnected infrastructures.

description: Marine litter, in particular plastics, is a significant and growing marine contaminant that has become a global problem. Macro-litter is subject to fragmentation and degradation due to physical, chemical and biological processes, leading to the formation of micro-litter, the so-called microplastics. The purpose of this research is to evaluate the concentrations of microplastics in different environmental matrices: water, sediment and biota (i.e. mussels and fish) and to contribute to the European project MAELSTROM (Smart technology for MArinE Litter SusTainable RemOval and Management). The aim is to monitor the presence of micro-litter at two sites of the Venice coastal area: an abandoned mussel farm at sea and a lagoon site near the artificial Island of Sacca Fisola; both sites are subject to strong anthropogenic pressure. The results showed that both study areas are characterised by the presence of microplastics in all the analysed matrices and in both sites. Generally, higher microplastics concentrations were found in the Lagoon site (i.e. in surface waters, mussels and fish). Moreover, some differences were also observed in shapes and colours comparing the two sites. These differences are related to the different types of macro-litter that characterised the two areas. The distribution of marine litter is therefore related to the main anthropogenic activities of the two areas such as fishery, aquaculture, tourism and waste management.

Is the Jump-Diffusion Model a Good Solution for Credit Risk Modeling? The Case of Convertible Bonds

description: This paper argues that the reduced-form jump diffusion model may not be appropriate for credit risk modeling. To correctly value hybrid defaultable financial instruments, e.g., convertible bonds, we present a new framework that relies on the probability distribution of a default jump rather than the default jump itself, as the default jump is usually inaccessible. As such, the model can back out the market prices of convertible bonds. A prevailing belief in the market is that convertible arbitrage is mainly due to convertible underpricing. Empirically, however, we do not find evidence supporting the underpricing hypothesis. Instead, we find that convertibles have relatively large positive gammas. As a typical convertible arbitrage strategy employs delta-neutral hedging, a large positive gamma can make the portfolio highly profitable, especially for a large movement in the underlying stock price.

description: We construct Boris-type schemes for integrating the motion of charged particles in particle-in-cell (PIC) simulation. The new solvers virtually combine the 2-step Boris procedure arbitrary n times in the Lorentz-force part, and therefore we call them the multiple Boris solvers. Using Chebyshev polynomials, a one-step form of the new solvers is provided. The new solvers give n^2 times smaller errors, allow larger timesteps, and have a long-term stability. We present numerical tests of the new solvers, in comparison with other particle integrators.

description: We present the results of HI observations of five dust-lane ellipticals with the Australia Telescope Compact Array. Two galaxies (NGC 3108 and NGC 1947) are detected, and sensitive upper limits are obtained for the other three. In the two detected galaxies, the HI is distributed in a regular, extended and warped disk-like structure of low surface brightness. Adding data from the literature, we find that several more dust-lane ellipticals have regular HI structures. This HI is likely to be a remnant of accretions/mergers which took place a considerable time ago, and in which a significant fraction of the gas survived to form a disk. The presence of regular HI structures suggests that some mergers lead to galaxies with extended low surface brightness density gas disks. These gas disk will evolve very slowly and these elliptical galaxies will remain gas rich for a long period of time. (abridged)

title: A Thousand and One Interconnections: Exploring Experiences of Persian Diasporic Identity Through Contemporary Visual Art Practice

subject: Metaphoric meanings

description: My personal experiences of migrating from Iran to Australia inform my practice and perspectives on the notions of ‘home’ and ‘belonging’ in the relationship of diasporas with their adopted environment. In formulating these issues, this exegesis follows a practice-based, exploratory, and interdisciplinary methodology to examine the multiple senses of place in the experiences of diasporas. I employ an allegorical framework in which I juxtapose Iranian and Australian elements, creating hybrid works of art where the final reading is greater than the sum of their parts. I accomplish this through an exploration of various mediums, including image transfer, body projection, pokerwork, and video transitions. I collect images, fragments, and objects that have authentic metaphoric meanings related to Iran and Australia. Through my process-based studio practice, I revise, amend, and adapt these items, placing them in compositions that suggest new spaces of meaning. I particularly draw from the allegories of the ‘Persian Paradise Garden’ manifested in miniature paintings, carpet designs, and poetry—among other traditional depictions. I argue that using traces of Australian nature and history within this allegorical framework is an effective model for interpreting ‘home’ as a ‘garden of contemplation’, and a possible means for translating cultural ‘interruption’ and ‘interconnection’ in contemporary art practice. Additionally, due to its central significance in relation to Iranian identity, the mytho-historical poems, and miniatures of Shahnameh (The Book of Kings) written by Abu al-Qasem Ferdowsi in the eleventh century, is also integral and greatly acknowledged in this research. The paradoxes of displacement—past and present, tradition and contemporary, and East and West—are evoked in the work of artists Shirin Neshat, Mona Hatoum, Shahzia Sikander, and Hossein Valamanesh. Through studying the practices of these artists and my studio works, this exegesis is intellectually indebted to the theories of ‘hybridity’ and ‘third space’, conceptualised by Homi Bhabha and extended by Nikos Papastergiadis and others. These theories propose that interactive and evolving spaces appear when two cultural poles collide, acting as interconnecting channels between the two—the place of origin and the place of adoption: in this case Iran and Australia.

description: Hierarchically porous, high‐surface‐area silica materials are excellent candidates for multiple applications like catalysis and environmental remediation. Shaping these materials with additive manufacturing (AM) techniques, like robocasting, could enable their use with the benefit of on‐demand, customized shaping and maximizing performance. Herein, ordered mesoporous silica COK‐12 slurries were robocasted into monoliths, containing different ratios of uncalcined COK‐12 and sodium bentonite (0–25 wt.%). The rheology of the mixed slurries is characterized by lower flow indexes (0.69 vs. 0.32) and higher yield stresses (96 vs. 259 Pa) compared to pure COK‐12 ones. Monoliths were printed in woodpile structures and calcined at 600°C. Micro‐CT measurements showed a linear shrinkage of 25% after calcination. Mechanical characterization showed increased uniaxial strength (0.20 ± 0.07 to 1.0 ± 0.3 MPa) with increasing binder/solids ratio from 13 to 25%. The amorphous, mesoporous structure of COK‐12 was retained. The structures exhibited open porosities of 52 ± 4% and showed higher specific mesopore volumes, and increased average mesopore size (6 vs. 8 nm) compared to COK‐12. Small‐angle x‐ray scattering analysis revealed an increased lattice parameter (10.3 vs. 11.0 nm) and reduced wall thickness (3.1 nm vs. 4.1 nm) of the COK‐12 in the monoliths. These properties indicate suitability for their application as porous supports and adsorbents.
