Are cognitive processing problems associated with hereditary haemochromatosis?
Creators: name: McElwee, G
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: Haemochromatosis is an inherited disease in which the body absorbs iron at an accelerated rate, leading to iron overload and oxidative damage. This occurs in major organs such as the liver, heart and pancreas but may also occur in the brain. The brain has a high iron requirement and few antioxidants compared to the rest of the body, making it particularly vulnerable to oxidative stress. Brain iron overload has been implicated in the pathogenesis and progression of diseases such as Multiple Sclerosis, Parkinson's Disease and Alzheimer's Disease. Case studies have investigated patients who have both haemochromatosis and altered cognitive functioning, although most have involved patients with advanced disease and additional complications, making it difficult to establish causation. If iron-mediated damage occurs within the brain in people with haemochromatosis then it is possible that processes such as memory, learning, attention and information processing speed are affected.These processes are sensitive to brain damage and are commonly influenced by concussion and metabolic disorders. Separating the primary effects of iron overload from secondary effects such as anxiety, depression, fatigue and pain is difficult as each impacts on cognition. Many people with haemochromatosis have complained of cognitive problems. However medical staff have attributed these problems to secondary effects of the disease. No study to date has attempted to investigate the primary effects of haemochromatosis on cognitive functioning using comprehensive neuropsychological tests and a large patient sample with matched controls.

description: In contrast to almost all anisotropic superconductors, the upper critical field of URu$_{2}$Si$_{2}$ is larger when the field is oriented along the less conducting direction. We present a study of resistivity and Seebeck coefficient extended down to sub-Kelvin temperature range uncovering a singular case of anisotropy. When the current is injected along the c-axis URu$_{2}$Si$_{2}$ behaves as a low-density Fermi liquid. When it flows along the a-axis, even in presence of a large field, resistivity remains T-linear down to T$_{c}$ and the Seebeck coefficient undergoes a sign change at very low temperatures. We conclude that the characteristic energy scale is anisotropic and vanishingly small in the basal plane.

description: We revisit the nature of the quasi-one-dimensional Ising model on the basis of Wang-Landau simulation. We introduce the density of states in the two-dimensional energy space corresponding to the intra- and inter-chain directions. We then analyze the interchain coupling dependence of the specific heat of the anistropic two-dimensional Ising model in the context of the density of states, and further discuss the size dependences of the peak temperature. We also discuss the feature of the phase transition in the three-dimensional case.

description: First time-resolved photoemission experiments employing attosecond streaking of electrons emitted by an XUV pump pulse and probed by a few-cycle NIR pulse found a time delay of about 100 attoseconds between photoelectrons from the conduction band and those from the 4f core level of tungsten. We present a microscopic simulation of the emission time and energy spectra employing a classical transport theory. Emission spectra and streaking images are well reproduced. Different contributions to the delayed emission of core electrons are identified: larger emission depth, slowing down by inelastic scattering processes, and possibly, energy dependent deviations from the free-electron dispersion. We find delay times near the lower bound of the experimental data.
A 42.3-43.6 GHz spectral survey of Orion BN/KL: First detection of the v=0 J=1-0 line from the isotopologues 29SiO and 30SiO

description: We have surveyed molecular line emission from Orion BN/KL from 42.3 to 43.6 GHz with the Green Bank Telescope. Sixty-seven lines were identified and ascribed to 13 different molecular species. The spectrum at 7 mm is dominated by SiO, SO2, CH3OCH3, and C2H5CN. Five transitions have been detected from the SiO isotopologues 28SiO, 29SiO, and 30SiO. We report here for the first time the spectra of the 29SiO and 30SiO v=0 J=1-0 emission in Orion BN/KL, and we show that they have double-peaked profiles with velocity extents similar to the main isotopologue. The main motivation for the survey was the search of high-velocity (100-1000 km/s) outflows in the BN/KL region as traced by SiO Doppler components. Some of the unidentified lines in principle could be high-velocity SiO features, but without imaging data their location cannot be established. Wings of emission are present in the v=0 28SiO, 29SiO and 30SiO profiles, and we suggest that the v=0 emission from the three isotopologues might trace a moderately high-velocity (~30-50 km/s) component of the flows around the high-mass protostar Source I in the Orion BN/KL region. We also confirm the 7 mm detection of a complex oxygen-bearing species, acetone (CH3COCH3), which has been recently observed towards the hot core at 3 mm, and we have found further indications of the presence of long cyanopolyynes (HC5N and HC7N) in the quiescent cold gas of the extended ridge.

A conceptual framework for an integrated spatial environmental impact assessment based on GIS
Creators: name: Kruse, B
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: This thesis develops a conceptual framework for a GIS-based integrated spatial environmental impact assessment for mining projects. In recent years, GIS has become wide spread and many specified programs and applications have been developed. While spatial overlay is the most popular GIS analysis in EIA, a range of additional functions is available, which have not been fully utilised, including. environmental modelling and web-enabled and mobile GIS. In current EIA theory, strategic and holistic assessment strategies have gained in importance. GIS can contribute towards such strategies through integrated spatial analysis and linked database management. Also, visualisation techniques in GIS can improve communication between all stakeholders and become an essential part of the EIA process. The open cut iron-ore mine at Savage River was chosen as an example to demonstrate the benefits of GIS in EIA. In the hypothetical GIS-based EIA process, illustrative examples are given for analysis of different environmental and socioeconomic impacts. Implications for the existing planning system in Tasmania are discussed.

description: KLT relations on $S_2$ factorize closed string amplitudes into product of open string tree amplitudes. The field theory limits of KLT factorization relations hold in minimal coupling theory of gauge field and gravity. In this paper, we consider the field theory limits of relations on $D_2$. Though the relations on $D_2$ and KLT factorization relations hold on worldsheets with different topologies, we find the field theory limits of $D_2$ relations also hold in minimal coupling theory of gauge field and gravity. We use the $D_2$ relations to give three- and four-point tree amplitudes where gluons are minimally coupled to gravitons. We also give a discussion on general tree amplitudes for minimal coupling of gauge field and gravity. In general, any tree amplitude with $M$ gravitons in addition to $N$ gluons can be given by pure-gluon tree amplitudes with $N+2M$ legs.

Migration of covered expandable metal stents after endoscopic ultrasound-guided hepaticogastrostomy: stent covering versus stent design?
Creators: name: Baron, Todd H.
Publisher: name: The Korean Society of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy
Year: 2024

description: Endoscopic ultrasound-guided hepaticogastrostomy (EUS-HGS) was first described over 20 years ago.1 Techniques for EUS-HGS have not been standardized. Plastic stents and self-expandable metal stents (SEMS) have been used to form the HGS tract. Japanese guidelines recommend that covered SEMS should be preferred over plastic stents to prevent and minimize bile leakage from the stomach and liver into the peritoneum. However, a major concern when placing a covered SEMS is that the coating prevents the stent from embedding into the surrounding tissue, leading to stent migration. Inward (toward the liver) and outward (toward the stomach) stent migration can occur, both of which can lead to life-threatening events, such as perforation and bile leakage, if migration occurs before a fistula can form between the left intrahepatic ducts and the gastric wall (presumed to occur 2 to 4 weeks after placement).

Meaning in music : towards criteria for a personal philosophy of music for the practising musician
Creators: name: Langlois, RJ
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: The practicing musician is involved in the day-to-day business of presenting \music\" in its many forms and expressions to an audience of some kind. This thesis explores the proposition that a philosophy of music is necessary to the musician and that such a philosophy cannot be separated from a philosophy of life. Through a discussion of the meaning of life and the meaning of music as an expression of art this paper develops criteria for a philosophy of music for the practising musician. Such a philosophy must: 1. be grounded in a philosophy of the whole of life. 2. show how art is related to the origin and nature of man. 3. include a definition of art. 4. link music and life experience. In seeking to move towards such a basis for a philosophy of music the thesis draws on philosophical contributions related to both life and music particularly in the collection The Meaning of Life edited by Klemke and through aspects of the theories of art and its life-connectedness explored by John Dewey IredellJenkins and Leland Ryken in their books.

description: Many extensions of the Standard Model (SM) predict new neutral vector bosons at energies accessible by the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). We study an extension of the SM with new chiral fermions subject to non-trivial anomaly cancellations. If the new fermions have SM charges, but are too heavy to be created at LHC, and the SM fermions are not charged under the extra gauge field, one would expect that this new sector remains completely invisible at LHC. We show, however, that a non-trivial anomaly cancellation between the new heavy fermions may give rise to observable effects in the gauge boson sector that can be seen at the LHC and distinguished from backgrounds.

Family Functioning, Community Participation, and Rehabilitation Barriers in the Acquired Brain Injury Community: An Exploratory Analysis
Creators: name: Morrison, Blaise

Publisher: name: SAGE Publications
Year: 2024

description: Acquired brain injury (ABI) is the second most common cause of disability in America. Prior research highlights family functioning as an important predictor of psychosocial outcomes in the ABI population; however, there remains limited research aimed at understanding the role of family functioning in predicting rehabilitation progress and community participation. A quantitative, exploratory, descriptive research design was used for this study. A total sample of 49 individuals with mild-to-moderate ABI were recruited from a university medical center and outpatient rehabilitation center. Participants completed measures of demographics, community participation, family functioning, and perceived rehabilitation barriers. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and multiple regression (MR) analysis. Two MR models were examined, one with rehabilitation barriers as the dependent variable and one with community participation as the dependent variable. Financial support and perceived rehabilitation barriers contributed significantly to variance in community participation satisfaction, while financial support, family functioning, and community participation satisfaction each accounted for a significant portion of variance in perceived rehabilitation barriers. Overall, the full MR 1 model accounted for 33% of variance in community participation satisfaction, while the full MR 2 model accounted for 51% of variance in perceived rehabilitation barriers. Although more research with larger, more diverse samples is needed, this study provides rehabilitation and counseling professionals with important psychosocial concepts to consider in assessment and treatment and helps clarify the role of family in promoting positive rehabilitation and participation outcomes in the ABI community.
Application of an in situ passive sampling technique for assessment of contaminants in the Antarctic environment
Creators: name: Larner, BL
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: This study investigates the use ofthe in situ passive sampling technique of diffusive gradients in thin films (DGT) to measure trace metal contaminants in overlying water and sediment porewater adjacent to a waste disposal site at the year-round Australian Antarctic research base, Casey Station. Marine sediment in a bay adjacent to the waste disposal site has been previously identified as having elevated levels oftrace metals, in particular Cd, Pb, Sn, Cu and Zn. Further development of the DGT technique was investigated with the application and testing of a new paper-based DGT sampler. These samplers were more cheaper, robust and easier to assemble than the original gel-based model, and were less affectedby pH and ionic strength. The paper-based DGT samplers had a lower than expected uptake of metals compared to the gel-based samplers in a field trial, so these samplers were not considered for Antarctic field work. Calibration of the gel-based DGT samplers using the \DGT uptake method\" at a temperature suitable for Antarctic deployments resulted in diffusion coefficients 93-114% of the literature values indicating that the technique is suitable for use in Antarctic waters. Deployment of DGT water samplers in Antarctic waters adjacent to the waste disposal site and in pristine waters resulted in only Cd Fe and Ni being measured with other metals being less than detection limits. The annual summer melt draining through the tip did not appear to affect the concentrations of these metals in the water. The use of Empore reconcentration disks resulted in the quantification of all metals analysed except Cr and the comparison of results between Empore and DGT supports previous findings that metals in the marine environment are associated with colloidal or particulate material. The use of DGT sediment probes demonstrated elevated levels of Sn Pb Fe and As in the sediment porewater consistent with direct porewater measurements which showed elevated levels of Sn Pb Mn and Fe compared to pristine locations. Comparison of DGT sediment probe results to direct porewater measurements showed that Sn and Fe were resupplied to the porewater from the solid phase. Further sediment characterisation work was undertaken to investigate why some of the metals (such as Cd Cu and Zn) were present in low concnetraions in the porewater. Very high levels of acid volatile sulfides up to 1600 pg g\\(^{-1}\\) were detected in sediment adjacent to-the waste disposal site. The high concentration of reactive sulfides in the sediment appears to be the main controlling factor of metal availability in the porewater."
A smoothed p-value test when there is a nuisance parameter under the alternative
Creators: name: Hill, Jonathan B.
Publisher: name: Elsevier
Year: 2024

description: We present a new test when there is a nuisance parameter λ under the alternative hypothesis. The test exploits the p-value occupation time [PVOT], the measure of the subset of λ on which a p-value test based on a test statistic T n ( λ ) rejects the null hypothesis. Key contributions are: (i) An asymptotic critical value upper bound for our test is the significance level α , making inference easy. (ii) We only require T n ( λ ) to have a known or bootstrappable limit distribution, hence we do not require n -Gaussian asymptotics, allowing for weak or non-identification, boundary values, heavy tails, infill asymptotics, and so on. (iii) A test based on the transformed p -value sup λ ∈ Λ p n ( λ ) may be conservative and in some cases have trivial power, while the PVOT naturally controls for this by smoothing over the nuisance parameter space. Finally, (iv) the PVOT uniquely allows for bootstrap inference in the presence of nuisance parameters when some estimated parameters may not be identified.

description: We investigate conditions for the existence of the limiting conditional distribution of a bivariate random vector when one component becomes large. We revisit the existing literature on the topic, and present some new sufficient conditions. We concentrate on the case where the conditioning variable belongs to the maximum domain of attraction of the Gumbel law, and we study geometric conditions on the joint distribution of the vector. We show that these conditions are of a local nature and imply asymptotic independence when both variables belong to the domain of attraction of an extreme value distribution. The new model we introduce can also be useful for simulations.

description: RATIONALE: The subjective effects of alcohol are associated with alcohol use disorder (AUD) vulnerability and treatment outcomes. The interoceptive effects of alcohol are part of these subjective effects and can be measured in animal models using drug discrimination procedures. The newly developed mGlu2and mGlu3 negative allosteric modulators (NAMs) are potential therapeutics for AUD and may alter interoceptive sensitivity to alcohol.
OBJECTIVES: To determine the effects of mGlu2 and mGlu3 NAMs on the interoceptive effects of alcohol in rats.
METHODS: Long-Evans rats were trained to discriminate the interoceptive stimulus effects of alcohol (2.0 g/kg, i.g.) from water using both operant (males only) and Pavlovian (male and female) drug discrimination techniques. Following acquisition training, an alcohol dose-response (0, 0.5, 1.0, 2.0 g/kg) experiment was conducted to confirm stimulus control over behavior. Next, to test the involvement of mGlu2 and mGlu3, rats were pretreated with the mGlu2-NAM (VU6001966; 0, 3, 6, 12 mg/kg, i.p.) or the mGlu3-NAM (VU6010572; 0, 3, 6, 12 mg/kg, i.p.) before alcohol administration (2.0 g/kg, i.g.).
RESULTS: In Pavlovian discrimination, male rats showed greater interoceptive sensitivity to 1.0 and 2.0 g/kg alcohol compared to female rats. Both mGlu2-NAM and mGlu3-NAM attenuated the interoceptive effects of alcohol in male and female rats using Pavlovian and operant discrimination. There may be a potential sex difference in response to the mGlu2-NAM at the highest dose tested.
CONCLUSIONS: Male rats may be more sensitive to the interoceptive effects of the 2.0 g/kg alcohol training dose compared to female rats. Both mGlu2-and mGlu3-NAM attenuate the interoceptive effects of alcohol in male and female rats. These drugs may have potential for treatment of AUD in part by blunting the subjective effects of alcohol.
title: Transportation Related Challenges for Persons with Disabilities
Creators: name: Bascom, Graydon
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2017

description: Gaining access to transportation is essential for obtaining employment, education, healthcare, and social interaction. Individuals who face difficulties in gaining this access are considered ‘transportation disadvantaged’ and include individuals of lower socioeconomic status, aging individuals, and persons with disabilities. In our autodependent society, individuals with disabilities face even fewer opportunities to interact within their communities. In order to better understand how individuals with disabilities are limited by their access to transportation, two studies were conducted.
The first study specifically seeks to examine how individuals with disabilities gain access to transportation and the interpersonal relationships that affect opportunities for social participation in the community. A self-administered online questionnaire was disseminated to individuals residing in the Rocky Mountain region of the United States. Individuals with disabilities were found to have less access to private vehicles and to utilize public transportation more than previously reported. The majority of individuals with disabilities feel that their access level to transportation hindered their social life.
The second study, using the same survey as the first study with some variation of the questions and a larger sample size, sought to understand the needs of individuals with disabilities from a national perspective. Individuals were found to use private vehicles less and more public transportation than previous studies have shown. Individuals with more significant disabilities were more likely to face transportation-related exclusion.
Structure and stability of adiabatic fluid spheres using a scalar theory of gravitation.
Creators: name: Lee, Clinton Arthur
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: A scalar theory of gravitation is used to construct stellar models which are static, spherically symmetric, isentropic, and composed of an ideal fluid obeying a power-law pressure-density relation. Such a relation holds for an isentropic non-degenerate perfect gas and for a degenerate Fermi gas In which the particles are non-relativistic or ultra-relativistic. A method for determining if a given static, spherically symmetric configuration is unstable against radial adiabatic perturbations is derived for the scalar theory. It is specialized to the particular models constructed. Numerical results on the structure and stability of the models are obtained and compared with general relativistic results. It Is found that the static results agree qualitatively with those given by general relativity but disagree quantitatively, e.g., a larger maximum mass for neutron stars is found using the scalar theory. The dynamical results are found to differ with those given in general relativity.

description: We describe both quantum particles and classical particles in terms of a classical statistical ensemble, characterized by a probability distribution in phase space. By use of a wave function in phase space both can be treated in the same quantum formalism. The different dynamics of quantum and classical particles resides then only from different evolution equations for the probability distribution. Quantum particles are characterized by a specific choice of observables and time evolution of the probability density. All relations for a quantum particle in a potential, including interference and tunneling, can be described in terms of the classical probability distribution. We formulate the concept of zwitters - particles for which the time evolution interpolates between quantum and classical particles. Experiments can test a small parameter which quantifies possible deviations from quantum mechanics.

title: Competitive Interactions Between a Native and Exotic Trout Species in High Mountain Streams
Creators: name: Thomas, Heather M.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1996

description: Populations of the introduced book trout, Salvelinus fontinalis, have recently become more widespread and abundant in western North American streams, possible at the expense of native Colorado River cutthroat trout, Oncorhynchus clarki pleuriticus. We examined the intensity and potential mechanism of competition between these species.
Feeding experiments in laboratory stream channels showed that cutthroat trout feeding efficiency decreases in the presence of a brook trout. Decreased feeding efficiency appeared to be due to interference, as cutthroat trout were inactive in the presence of the brook trout. Evidence for interference competition in the feeding experiments was also given by the fact that brook trout feeding efficiency was lower than the feeding efficiency of cutthroat trout. The decreased feeding efficiency of cutthroat trout in the presence of brook trout was due to decreased attack rates by cutthroat trout, and was not due to attacks and consumption of the food items by the brook trout.
A field enclosure experiment, in which riffle-pool sections of a stream were isolated by fencing, was performed to determine if the presence of brook trout had a negative effect on the growth, fat content, and diet of cutthroat trout. Cutthroat trout fat levels were significantly lower in the presence of brook trout. The growth of cutthroat trout was not significantly different in the presence and absence of brook trout, but there was a trend fro lower growth of cutthroat trout in the presence of brook trout. Diet choices and total biomass of prey consumed by cutthroat trout in the field experiment and in a survey of three streams were not affected by the presence of brook trout.
The observed decreased feeding efficiency of cutthroat trout in the presence of brook trout may be the mechanism responsible for the significantly decreased fat levels during the relatively short, summer growing season and may result in reduced population sizes due to high overwinter mortality and delayed sexual maturity.

Prospects for Discovering Supersymmetry at the LHC

description: Supersymmetry is one of the best-motivated candidates for physics beyond the Standard Model that might be discovered at the LHC. There are many reasons to expect that it may appear at the TeV scale, in particular because it provides a natural cold dark matter candidate. The apparent discrepancy between the experimental measurement of g_mu - 2 and the Standard model value calculated using low-energy e+ e- data favours relatively light sparticles accessible to the LHC. A global likelihood analysis including this, other electroweak precision observables and B-decay observables suggests that the LHC might be able to discover supersymmetry with 1/fb or less of integrated luminosity. The LHC should be able to discover supersymmetry via the classic missing-energy signature, or in alternative phenomenological scenarios. The prospects for discovering supersymmetry at the LHC look very good.

The purpose of this study was to determine the average dietary intake of pantothenic acid and correlate it with urinary excretions and the blood levels of this vitamin to assess the pantothenic acid status of the elderly population.
A seven day diet record was obtained from 65 non-institutionalized and 26 institutionalized persons over 65 years of age assessed to be free of chronic diseases. A 24 hour urine specimen and a fasting blood sample was obtained from each study participant. An average of the seven day diet record was calculated to obtain the amount of pantothenic acid consumed per day. The averaged value calculated for dietary in-take was correlated with urinary excretion and blood levels of the vitamin. The amount of pantothenic acid ingested from vitamin supplements was also calculated. The total amount of pantothenic acid (dietary and vitamin sources) was correlated with urinary excretion levels and blood levels of the vitamin.
The average dietary intake of pantothenic acid for the elderly population studied was 5.9 ± 1.4 mg/day. The average total intake of pantothenic acid (dietary and vitamin sources) was 10.3 ± 13.8 mg/day. The dietary intake of pantothenic acid ranged from 2.5 - 9.5 mg/day and the intake of pantothenic acid from vitamin plus dietary sources ranged from 2.5 - 122.4 mg/day. there was a low to moderate correlation between the intake of pantothenic acid and the urinary excretion of the vitamin and a low to moderate correlation between the intake levels and blood levels of pantothenic acid.

description: The existing intermediate image nuclear spectrometer has been modified to count either positrons or negatrons by the addition of a helical baffle. Design considerations of the helical baffle and source requirements for the present investigation have been discussed. An investigation of the positron spectrum of ¹⁵²Eu has been completed. Kurie-plot analysis of the data has confirmed the presence of two primary positron groups with end point energies 713.5 ± 2KeV and 471 ± 5KeV, and intensities (1.0 ± 0.1) x 10⁻⁴ per decay and (0.6 ± 0.2) x 10⁻⁴ per decay respectively. It has been possible to assign error limits to these intensities for the first time. The presence of an internal pair formation positron distribution has also been confirmed. The intensity of the pair formation positrons was deduced from the data for the first time as (0.4 ± 0.05) x 10⁻⁴ per decay, in good agreement with theoretical predictions. The results are in good agreement with previous investigations, excepting the intensity of the 713.5KeV primary positron group. The disparity may be caused by effects due to source and backing thickness in previous work.

description: The origin of S0 galaxies is discussed in the framework of early mergers in a Cold Dark Matter cosmology, and in a scenario where S0s are assumed to be former spirals stripped of gas. From an analysis of 127 early-type disk galaxies (S0-Sa), we find a clear correlation between the scale parameters of the bulge (r_eff) and the disk (h_R), a correlation which is difficult to explain if these galaxies were formed in mergers of disk galaxies. However, the stripping hypothesis, including quiescent star formation, is not sufficient to explain the origin of S0s either, because it is not compatible with our finding that S0s have a significantly smaller fraction of bars (46$\pm$6 %) than their assumed progenitors, S0/a galaxies (93$\pm$5 %) or spirals (64-69 %). Our conclusion is that even if a large majority of S0s were descendants of spiral galaxies, bars and ovals must play an important role in their evolution. The smaller fraction particularly of strong bars in S0 galaxies is compensated by a larger fraction of ovals/lenses (97$\pm$2 % compared to 82-83 % in spirals), many of which might be weakened bars. We also found massive disk-like bulges in nine of the S0 galaxies, bulges which might have formed at an early gas-rich stage of galaxy evolution.

title: Rennin Content of Abomasa from Bovine Fetuses
Creators: name: Pang, Suk Hoon
Publisher: name: Utah State University

description: Rennet extract is an important commercial enzyme preparation which is indispensable to the cheese making industry, The term "rennet" is used to denote the enzyme system extracted from the fourth stomach (abomasum) of a suckling calf. Most of the enzymatic material in the extract is rennin. It also contains a small amount of pepsin and some other proteolytic enzymes. The amount of pepsin in rennet extract appears to depend upon the age of the calves at the time of slaughter.
It has been suggested that some proteolytic enzymes from higher plants might be useful in cheese manufacture. Krishnaswamy et al. reported that Cheddar cheese made with ficin quickly developed a bitter flavor which decreased in intensity during curing. Cheddar cheese made with an extract from the flower petals of Cynara cardunculus developed extreme bitterness and a pasty body during 30 days curing at 10 C. An extract from the fruit of Withania coagulans was used by Kothavalla and Khubchandani as a coagulating agent in the manufacture of Surati and Cheddar cheese. No unusual flavors were reported, but they experienced rather high fat losses.

description: We compute the spin-2 Kaluza-Klein modes around a warped product of AdS_4 and a seven-ellipsoid. This background with global G_2 symmetry is related to a U(N) x U(N) N=1 superconformal Chern-Simons matter theory with sixth order superpotential. The mass-squared in AdS_4 is quadratic in G_2 quantum number and KK excitation number. We determine the dimensions of spin-2 operators using the AdS/CFT correspondence. The connection to N=2 theory preserving SU(3) x U(1)_R is also discussed.

Accretion onto Stars with Octupole Magnetic Fields: Matter Flow, Hot Spots and Phase Shifts

description: We show results of global 3D MHD simulations of accretion onto stars with superposition of the dipole and octupole fields, where we vary the ratio between components. Simulations show that if octupolar field strongly dominates at the disc-magnetosphere boundary, then matter flows into the ring-like octupolar poles, forming ring-shape spots at the surface of the star above and below equator. The light-curves are complex and may have two peaks per period. In case where the dipole field dominates, matter accretes in two ordered funnel streams towards poles, however the polar spots are meridionally-elongated due to the action of the octupolar component. In the case when the fields are of similar strengths, both, polar and belt-like spots are present. In many cases the light-curves show the evidence of complex fields, excluding the cases of small inclinations angles, where sinusoidal light-curve %is observed and `hides' the information about the field complexity. We also propose new mechanisms of phase shift in stars with complex magnetic fields. We suggest that the phase shifts can be connected with: (1) temporal variation of the star's intrinsic magnetic field and subsequent redistribution of main magnetic poles; (2) variation of the accretion rate, which causes the disc to interact with the magnetic fields associated with different magnetic moments. We use our model to demonstrate these phase shift mechanisms, and we discuss possible applications of these mechanisms to accreting millisecond pulsars and young stars.

title: Some Factors Involved in the Manufacture of Brick Cheese

description: The flavor, quality and composition of market brick cheese varies greatly. Its moisture content often ranges from 37 to 43 per cent. The flavor may be similar to Limburger or it may even resemble that of Cheddar. Such a great variation in a specific food product tends toward disappointment for the consumer.
It is believed that a more uniform standard of quality for this product is needed to materially increase its consumption. Therefore, a detailed study of some of the factors involved in the manufacture of brick cheese may help to improve the quality and aid in determining a satisfactory standard.

When the Poisson Ratio of Polymer Networks and Gels Is Larger Than 0.5?

description: We use coarse-grained molecular dynamics simulations to study deformation of networks and gels of linear and brush strands in both linear and nonlinear deformation regimes under constant pressure conditions. The simulations show that the Poisson ratio of networks and gels could exceed 0.5 in the nonlinear deformation regime. This behavior is due to the ability of the network and gel strands to sustain large reversible deformation, which, in combination with the finite strand extensibility results in strand alignment and monomer density, increases with increasing strand elongation. We developed a nonlinear network and gel deformation model which defines conditions for the Poisson ratio to exceed 0.5. The model predictions are in good agreement with the simulation results.

description: Let $G$ be a locally compact group which is $σ$-compact, endowed with a left Haar measure $λ.$ Denote by $e$ the unit element of $G$, and by $B$ an open relatively compact and symmetric neighbourhood of $e$. For every $(p,q) $ belonging to $[ 1 ; +\infty ] ^{2}$, we give an equivalent and a priori more manageable definition of the Banach space $L_{(q,p)}^π(G),$ defined by R. C. Busby and H. A. Smith in \cite% {1}. In the case $G$ is a group of homogeneous type, we look at the subspaces $(L^{q},L^{p}) ^α(G)$ of the space $% L_{(q,p)}^π(G)$. Theses subspaces are extensions to non abelian groups of the spaces of functions with integrable mean, defined by I. Fofana in \cite{2}. Finally we show that $L^{α,+\infty}(G)$ is a complex subspace of $(L^{q},L^{p}) ^α(G)$.
