description: In a continuing survey of active galactic nuclei observed by the Far Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer, we provide a deeper analysis of intrinsic absorption features found in 35 objects. Our survey is for low-redshift and moderate-luminosity objects, mostly Seyfert galaxies. We find a strong correlation between maximum radial velocity and luminosity. We also examine the relationships between equivalent width (EW), full width at half maximum, velocity: and continuum flux. The correlation between velocity and luminosity has been explored previously by Laor & Brandt, but at a significantly higher redshift and heavily weighted by broad absorption line quasars. We also have examined each object with multiple observations for variability in each of the aforementioned quantities, and have characterized the variation of EW with the continuum flux. In our survey, we find that variability of O VI lambda1032, lambda1038 is less common than of the UV doublets of CIV and N V seen at longer wavelengths, because the O VI absorption is usually saturated. Lyman beta absorption variability is more frequent. In a target-by-target examination we find that broad absorption line absorption and narrow absorption line absorbers are related in terms of maximum outflow velocity and luminosity, and both can be exhibited in similar luminosity objects. We also find one object that shows radial velocity change, seven objects that show equivalent width variability, and two objects that show either transverse velocity changes or a change in ionization.

description: Background: Basal ganglia circuits are involved in the pathology of Gilles de la Tourette syndrome (GTS), but also play an important role in different cognitive processes. Specifically, we were interested in examining interference resolution (the ability to distinguish task-relevant and distracting stimuli) and performance monitoring (the ability to monitor responses and mistakes during a task) in adult patients with GTS. These can be assessed using the flanker task, which requires participants to indicate the direction of a ‘target’ arrow that is flanked by 2 ‘distractor’ arrows. The target and flanker arrows face the same direction in the congruent condition, but opposite directions in the incongruent condition, which typically produces slower reaction times and higher error rates.

Methods: We assessed N = 23 adult patients with GTS (mean age=32.78, SD=11.11, female=10) using the flanker task during an EEG recording session compared to N = 27 age- and sex-matched healthy controls (HC). We examined behavioural performance using reaction time and error rates, as well as the N2 event-related potential (ERP) as an indicator of interference resolution, and the error-related negativity (Ne/ERN) as an index of performance monitoring. The Ne/ERN is a negative frontocentral ERP that occurs when a mistake is made.

Results: Behavioural results showed significantly enhanced congruency effects on reaction times of patients with GTS compared to HC (p =.032). Error rates did not differ between groups (p =.992).
Electrophysiological data revealed a significantly larger Ne/ERN in patients with GTS compared to HC at the Fz electrode (GTS: -9.00 μV,HC: -5.57 μV; p < .001). The N2 and Ne/ERN were more frontally distributed in patients with GTS, while HC demonstrated central distributions.

Conclusions: Our data indicate neural alterations in error processing in adult patients with GTS compared to HC, which is not due to differential error probabilities.
The N2 and Ne/ERN data are consistent with literature, although this is limited in adults. Our data suggest that patients may compensate for insufficient task preparation by using attentional resources from frontal pathways to maintain behavioural performance. Alternatively, they may perceive mistakes as being more salient than controls, due to obsessive compulsive tendencies.

description: This paper examines the major reasons for subsidized child care receipt among current and former welfare recipients in Harris County, Texas, between mid-1995 and mid-1999. For the most part, poor people receive subsidized child care because of either employment or engagement in workforce development activities. The time period of the study was chosen so that significant periods before and after welfare reform could be observed. The welfare reforms that were enacted during this period included the Federal Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Act (PRWORA) legislation and the Texas legislation that resulted in the state’s welfare waiver, known as the “Achieving Change for Texans” (ACT) waiver. This document reports on the estimation of a statistical model developed to determine the factors associated with the likelihood of employment (as opposed to training) as well as earnings, for recipients of subsidized child care who were current or former welfare clients.
Pregnancy rate and early lamb surviaval of California bighorn sheep (Ovis canadensis californiana, Douglas 1871) in the Ashnola watershed, British Columbia
Creators: name: Harper, William Lamont

description: The Flatiron Mountain population of bighorn sheep [Ovis canadensis], with a history of low lamb recruitment, was studied to determine the timing of offspring losses, the nutritional and disease status of females, and the significance of suckling behaviour, weather, and predation on lamb survival. Pregnancy fate, determined by Doppler ultrasound diagnoses, was 100% in 10 adult females captured in mid to late gestation. Mortality of lambs belonging to tagged females was 64%, all occurring in the first month postpartum. Of the five females that were observable throughout the lambing period, three lost their offspring when the lamb was between five and 21 days old. Adult females from Flatiron Mountain were heavier and had higher body condition scores than a captive research herd with higher lamb production, suggesting energy status of Flatiron females was sufficient for lamb survival. Concentrations of selenium, copper, and zinc in the blood serum of Flatiron females in winter were marginally deficient, based on domestic sheep values. The one 9-month old lamb captured had very low levels of some blood minerals. Liver and kidney concentrations suggest that selenium in adult males was the only trace mineral marginally deficient in this population. The only important pathogen isolated from nasal swabs was parainfluenza type-3 virus, which was found in 50% of the 12 females sampled in late winter. Although several storms involving freezing temperatures and snowfall occurred during the lambing period, females with newborn lambs frequented lower elevations characterized by a milder microclimate, and there was no obvious correlation between inclement weather and periods of high lamb mortality. The suckling behaviour of Flatiron lambs was similar to that of other populations which, on average, had double the lamb production of Flatiron females. Analysis of predator scats, mainly coyote, revealed 24% by volume of their spring diet consisted of bighorn lambs. Based on the lack of significant nutritional, disease, or climatic factors, and considering the timing of lamb losses, coyote predation was hypothesized to be the most likely factor limiting lamb survival on Flatiron Mountain. Research effort should be directed towards testing this conclusion before management prescriptions are applied.

description: Let $X_1,...,X_n$ be i.i.d. observations, where $X_i=Y_i+σZ_i$ and $Y_i$ and $Z_i$ are independent. Assume that unobservable $Y$'s are distributed as a random variable $UV,$ where $U$ and $V$ are independent, $U$ has a Bernoulli distribution with probability of zero equal to $p$ and $V$ has a distribution function $F$ with density $f.$ Furthermore, let the random variables $Z_i$ have the standard normal distribution and let $σ>0.$ Based on a sample $X_1,..., X_n,$ we consider the problem of estimation of the density $f$ and the probability $p.$ We propose a kernel type deconvolution estimator for $f$ and derive its asymptotic normality at a fixed point. A consistent estimator for $p$ is given as well. Our results demonstrate that our estimator behaves very much like the kernel type deconvolution estimator in the classical deconvolution problem.

description: We investigate some aspects of the relationship between matrix string theory and light-cone string field theory by analysing the correspondence between the two-loop thermal partition function of DLCQ strings in flat space and the integrated two-point correlator of twist fields in a symmetric product orbifold conformal field theory at one-loop order. This is carried out by deriving combinatorial expressions for generic twist field correlation functions in permutation orbifolds using the covering surface method, by deriving the one-loop modification of the twist field interaction vertex, and by relating the two-loop finite temperature DLCQ string theory to the theory of Prym varieties for genus two covers of an elliptic curve. The case of bosonic Z(2) orbifolds is worked out explicitly and precise agreement between both amplitudes is found. We use these techniques to derive explicit expressions for Z(2) orbifold spin twist field correlation functions in the Type II and heterotic string theories.

description: It is known that the eigenvalues of selfadjoint elements a,b,c with a+b+c=0 in the factor R^omega (ultrapower of the hyperfinite II1 factor) are characterized by a system of inequalities analogous to the classical Horn inequalities of linear algebra. We prove that these inequalities are in fact true for elements of an arbitrary finite factor. A matricial (`complete') form of this result is equivalent to an embedding question formulated by Connes.

description: A residuated poset is a structure $\langle A,\le,\cdot,\backslash,/,1 \rangle$ where $\langle A,\le \rangle$ is a poset and $\langle A,\cdot,1 \rangle$ is a monoid such that the residuation law $x\cdot y\le z\iff x\le z/y\iff y\le x\backslash z$ holds. A residuated poset is balanced if it satisfies the identity $x\backslash x \approx x/x$. By generalizing the well-known construction of Plonka sums, we show that a specific class of balanced residuated posets can be decomposed into such a sum indexed by the set of positive idempotent elements. Conversely, given a semilattice directed system of residuated posets equipped with two families of maps (instead of one, as in the usual case), we construct a residuated poset based on the disjoint union of their domains. We apply this approach to provide a structural description of some varieties of residuated lattices and relation algebras.

The results can be written in terms of a 3-algebra in which the triple product is not antisymmetric. For a specific choice of 3-algebra we obtain the N=6 theories that have been recently proposed as models for M2-branes in an R^8/Z_k orbifold background.

Maps of the full-width half maximum (FWHM) of point sources in the H and Ks images are presented, together with maps of the Strehl ratio achieved in the Ks-band observations. Each of the three natural guide stars was at the edge of the MAD field-of-view, and the observations were obtained at relatively large airmass (1.4-1.6). Even so, the Strehl ratio achieved in the second pointing (best-placed compared to the reference stars) ranged from 15% to an impressive 30%. Preliminary photometric calibration of the first pointing indicates 5 sigma sensitivities of Ks=21.75 and H=22.25 (from 22 and 12 min exposures, respectively).

description: This reports on the work undertaken by iDSI on each of the five objectives under the iDSI Reference Case (RC) work stream and on its future use by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. The brief pilot studies’ report gives an overview of each of the pilots and extracts key issues for further RC development under iDSI going forward. The process of piloting the RC revealed that researchers found the RC challenging to fulfil every methodological and reporting standard, even those with substantial experience in economic evaluation in a low and middle income country (LMIC) context. Establishing a requirement that BMGF funded economic evaluation use of the RC ought to be accompanied by extensive efforts to build research capacity in modelling (mathematical, decision analytic) and cost-effectiveness analysis in LMICs.

description: Gathering relevant information to predict student academic progress is a tedious task. Due to the large amount of irrelevant data present in databases which provides inaccurate results. Currently, it is not possible to accurately measure and analyze student data because there are too many irrelevant attributes and features in the data. With the help of Educational Data Mining (EDM), the quality of information can be improved. This research demonstrates how EDM helps to measure the accuracy of data using relevant attributes and machine learning algorithms performed. With EDM, irrelevant features are removed without changing the original data. The data set used in this study was taken from Kaggle.com. The results compared on the basis of recall, precision and f-measure to check the accuracy of the student data. The importance of this research is to help improve the quality of educational research by providing more accurate results for researchers.

description: An objective of iDSI in its early development was to ‘enhance communication and engagement between key stakeholders, public and private, in the process of HTA development and of priority-setting.’  Meteos was contracted as an iDSI partner to support this objective, specifically with the responsibility to gather stakeholder perspectives, to convene a stakeholder meeting, and to produce a set of recommendations on ongoing mechanisms for stakeholder engagement by iDSI.  To meet these objectives, Meteos undertook a stakeholder consultation through interviews with a wide range of stakeholders. This report summarises the outcomes of interviews conducted in May-July 2015. This document covers the two main questions for this exercise: stakeholder perspectives on iDSI’s impact, and views on iDSI’s approach to stakeholder engagement.

Cowpea yield response under alternative irrigation scheduling techniques using line-source sprinklers
Creators: name: Tyem, Mamkur Ndam
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: A portable hand-move sprinkler irrigation system was designed to provide water distribution and operating characteristics suitable for continuous variable irrigation-fertilizer cowpea (Vigna unguiculata [L.] Walp.) production studies. Both the single and interactive effects of irrigation water, phosphate fertilizer and irrigation scheduling techniques on cowpea dry matter production were investigated in a field-conducted randomised complete block experiment. The relative merits of irrigating frequently but with smaller amounts of water than the design water application depth as compared to stage-of-growth and normal interval irrigation were studied with five levels of fertilizer P and three water levels. Soil water depletion by crop was measured by gravimetric methods and water use as well as water use efficiency were subsequently evaluated. Plant growth rate indices monitored were: plant height, number of trifoliates and number of nodes on a weekly basis for seven weeks following emergence. Statistical analyses of yield and P uptake indicated positive response of the crop to added fertilizer and irrigation water, most noticeably under the high-frequency schedules. Water use efficiency was observed to be highest under the most frequently-irrigated plot(S3) but this happened to be obtained at the expense of depressed yields. It was therefore concluded that irrigating twice within the designed interval was optimum for both yield and water use efficiency considerations. The line-source irrigation system and experimental design used in this project were found to be satisfactory for field study of the interactive effects of these test factors on the crop. One major difficulty encountered with running the experiment was the operation of the system under calm wind conditions to ensure high uniformity of water distributiion. Special care was needed also, to achieve sediment exclusion from the lateral that was frequently uncoupled and moved from plot to plot, but these were the special features of the irrigation system that made working with it interesting.

description: Using Spitzer Space Telescope photometric observations of the eclipsing, interacting binary WZ Sge, we have discovered that the accretion disk is far more complex than previously believed. Our 4.5 and 8 micron time series observations reveal that the well known gaseous accretion disk is surrounded by an asymmetric disk of dusty material with a radius approximately 15 times larger than the gaseous disk. This dust ring contains only a small amount of mass and is completely invisible at optical and near-IR wavelengths, hence consisting of "dark matter". We have produced a model dust ring using 1 micron spherical particles with a density of 3 g/cm$^3$ and with a temperature profile ranging from 700-1500K. Our discovery about the accretion disk structure and the presence of a larger, outer dust ring have great relevance for accretion disks in general, including those in other interacting binary systems, pre-main sequence stars, and active galaxies.

Global Syntactic Variation in Seven Languages: Towards a Computational Dialectology

description: The goal of this paper is to provide a complete representation of regional linguistic variation on a global scale. To this end, the paper focuses on removing three constraints that have previously limited work within dialectology/dialectometry. First, rather than assuming a fixed and incomplete set of variants, we use Computational Construction Grammar to provide a replicable and falsifiable set of syntactic features. Second, rather than assuming a specific area of interest, we use global language mapping based on web-crawled and social media datasets to determine the selection of national varieties. Third, rather than looking at a single language in isolation, we model seven major languages together using the same methods: Arabic, English, French, German, Portuguese, Russian, and Spanish. Results show that models for each language are able to robustly predict the region-of-origin of held-out samples better using Construction Grammars than using simpler syntactic features. These global-scale experiments are used to argue that new methods in computational sociolinguistics are able to provide more generalized models of regional variation that are essential for understanding language variation and change at scale.

description: The complex theoretical and experimental investigation of plasma kinetics of the electric discharge in the mixture of air and ethanol-water vapors is carried out. The discharge was burning in the cavity, formed by air jets pumping between electrodes, placed in aqueous ethanol solution. It is found out that the hydrogen yield from the discharge is maximal in the case when ethanol and water in the solution are in equal amounts. It is shown that the hydrogen production increases with the discharge power and reaches the saturation at high value. The concentrations of the main stable gas-phase components, measured experimentally and calculated numerically, agree well in the most cases.

Fonti visive di Gustave Moreau fra ricezione critica e rielaborazione poetica. Alcune note su Vittore Carpaccio e la pittura veneta
Creators: name: Lacagnina, Davide
Publisher: name: Annali Online  Lettere - Ferrara
Year: 2014

description: The article reconsiders the critical and visual reception of Vittore Carpaccio in France throughout the XIX century, with a special focus on Gustave Moreau's œuvre. The months the French painter spent in Venice, his interest in Venetian painting, the sketches and the copies he made d'après, may be read in the light of a specific pursuit: define a new canon for history painting within the Academic tradition and find a personal way to most radical issues in art. Moreau's attempts to reform le grand art move from the exploration of visual and written sources of any epoch, from Antiquity to Renaissance Art, in order to find and fix ideals of highest poetical imagination, far from any popularization of history, art or literature. Among the old masters studied in Italy, Carpaccio is the most valued: the large scale compositions, the attention to detail in the decoration of interiors or in the vestments of the characters depicted, the religious sensibility of the Storie di Sant'Orsola or the frescos in the Scuola di San Giorgio degli Schiavoni are all elements inherited and elaborated by Moreau. They are not just "frozen" references taken from the past, as former scholars of Moreau mostly believed, but rather instances selected to express a peculiar vision of art, up to the definition of a symbolist theory of modern painting (poésie pure). In this sense, the literary discovery of Carpaccio in French authors such as Théophile Gautier or the brothers Edmond and Jules de Goncourt, besides the  more "official" art histories of Blanc, Coindet, Rio, encompasses the moral tension arising in the taste for Italian Primitives at the end of XIX century.

Form factors of branch-point twist fields in quantum integrable models and entanglement entropy

description: In this paper we compute the leading correction to the bipartite entanglement entropy at large sub-system size, in integrable quantum field theories with diagonal scattering matrices. We find a remarkably universal result, depending only on the particle spectrum of the theory and not on the details of the scattering matrix. We employ the "replica trick" whereby the entropy is obtained as the derivative with respect to n of the trace of the n-th power of the reduced density matrix of the sub-system, evaluated at n=1. The main novelty of our work is the introduction of a particular type of twist fields in quantum field theory that are naturally related to branch points in an n-sheeted Riemann surface. Their two-point function directly gives the scaling limit of the trace of the n-th power of the reduced density matrix. Taking advantage of integrability, we use the expansion of this two-point function in terms of form factors of the twist fields, in order to evaluate it at large distances in the two-particle approximation. Although this is a well-known technique, the new geometry of the problem implies a modification of the form factor equations satisfied by standard local fields of integrable quantum field theory. We derive the new form factor equations and provide solutions, which we specialize both to the Ising and sinh-Gordon models.

description: Το σύγχρονο σχολείο, αντιμετωπίζει διάφορες προκλήσεις, όπως την υπερπληροφόρηση των πολιτών και την απαξίωση του εκπαιδευτικού συστήματος. Προσπαθώντας να ανταπεξέλθει στις καινούργιες ανάγκες που δημιουργεί η εποχή του διαδικτύου αλλά και τις πρόσφατες έκτακτες συνθήκες που δημιούργησε η πανδημία του Covid, θα πρέπει να αλλάξει και προκειμένου να εφαρμοστούν επιτυχώς και να παγιωθούν οι όποιες αλλαγές, θα πρέπει οι σχολικές μονάδες να αναθεωρήσουν τον τρόπο με τον οποίο προσεγγίζουν το κοινό τους. Μέσα από τις Δημόσιες Σχέσεις, τα σχολεία μπορούν να επικοινωνούν τις υπηρεσίες τους στο ενδιαφερόμενο ακροατήριο αλλά και να αφουγκράζονται τις ανάγκες των ομάδων στις οποίες απευθύνονται προκειμένου να προσαρμόζουν τις υπηρεσίες τους σε αυτές. Η εξωτερίκευση της φιλοσοφίας και της κουλτούρας της σχολικής μονάδας, όπως αυτή διαμορφώνεται από τη Διεύθυνση του σχολείου, το Σύλλογο Διδασκόντων, τους μαθητές που φοιτούν σε αυτό και την κοινωνία στην οποία δραστηριοποιείται το σχολείο, μπορεί να βελτιώσει την αντιμετώπιση των πολιτών προς το σχολείο και να δράσει ενισχυτικά στις λειτουργίες του. Στην παρούσα έρευνα γίνεται καταγραφή των τρόπων με τους οποίους οι σχολικές μονάδες του Δημοτικού Σχολείου στη χώρα μας επικοινωνούν με το περιβάλλον τους και των απόψεων των εκπαιδευτικών σχετικά με την εφαρμογή τεχνικών Δημοσίων Σχέσεων στα ελληνικά Δημοτικά Σχολεία καθώς και τα πιθανά οφέλη που μπορεί να προκύψουν από αυτή.

description: We study the effects of an attractive interaction between the boron (B) and the nitrogen (N) atoms doped in a bilayer graphene (BLG), BC$_{14}$N, on the electronic, the thermal and the optical properties for two different types of a doping process: First, both the B and the N atoms are doped in the same layer while the other layer is undoped. Second, the B and N atoms are doped in both layers. An attractive interaction between the B and N atoms does not influence the interlayer interaction in the first case, while it does in the second case. We find that the strong B-N attractive interaction in one layer induces metallic behavior due to the crossing of the valence band and the Fermi energy, while the strong attractive interaction between both layers induces a semiconductor property arising from the emergence a bandgap. We therefore confirm that the metallic-like BLG is not a good material for thermal devices because it has a low figure of merit, while we notice that the semiconductor-like BLG has a high Seebeck coefficient and figure of merit as well as a low thermal conductivity. The strong attractive interaction of the B-N atoms between the layers gives rise to a prominent peak to appear in dielectric function, the excitation and the absorption spectra in the low energy, visible range, while a very weak peak is seen in the case of a strong attractive interaction between the B and N doped in one layer. Controlling the B and N atomic configurations in the BLG may help to improve the material for use in both thermoelectric and optoelectronic devices.

description: The standard unified scheme of active galactic nuclei requires the presence of high column densities of gas and dust potentially obscuring the central engine. So far, few direct subarcsecond resolution studies of this material have been performed toward radio galaxies. The goal of this paper is to elucidate the nuclear environment of the prototypical X-shaped Fanaroff-Riley type II radio galaxy 3C403, the only powerful radio galaxy known to host a water megamaser. Very Large Array A-array and single-dish Green Bank and Effelsberg 1.3 cm measurements were performed to locate and monitor the water maser emission. Very Long Baseline Interferometry 6 cm continuum observations were taken to analyze the spatial structure of the nuclear environment at even smaller scales, while the CO J=1-0 and 2-1 transitions were observed with the IRAM 30-m telescope to search for thermal emission from a spatially extended, moderately dense gas component.[abridged]
