description: Logarithmic transformation of the data has been recommended by the literature in the case of highly skewed distributions such as those commonly found in information science. The purpose of the transformation is to make the data conform to the lognormal law of error for inferential purposes. How does this transformation affect the analysis? We factor analyze and visualize the citation environment of the Journal of the American Chemical Society (JACS) before and after a logarithmic transformation. The transformation strongly reduces the variance necessary for classificatory purposes and therefore is counterproductive to the purposes of the descriptive statistics. We recommend against the logarithmic transformation when sets cannot be defined unambiguously. The intellectual organization of the sciences is reflected in the curvilinear parts of the citation distributions, while negative powerlaws fit excellently to the tails of the distributions.

description: Comparative studies have shown that the eye morphology of primates has been shaped by a variety of selection pressures (e.g. communication, environmental factors). To comprehensively elucidate the complex links between ocular morphology and its evolutionary drive, attention should be paid to other phylogenetic groups. Here, we address a new question regarding the evolution of eye colour patterns in the oldest domesticated animal, namely, the domestic dog (Canis familiaris). In this study, we conducted an image analysis of dogs and their closest relatives, grey wolves (Canis lupus), to compare the colours of their irises, with the aim of assessing whether eye colours of dogs affect how humans perceived dogs. We found that the irises of dogs were significantly darker than those of wolves. We also found that facial images of dark-eyed dogs were perceived as more friendly and immature, potentially eliciting caregiving responses from humans. Our findings are consistent with our expectation that humans favour dark-eyed dogs over light-eyed ones and provide an updated hypothesis that dogs with dark eyes may have evolved by acquiring a facial trait that sends a non-threatening gaze signal to humans.

description: We present new exact solutions for the Einstein-Maxwell system in static spherically symmetric interior spacetimes. For a particular form of the gravitational potentials and the electric field intensity, it is possible to integrate the system in closed form. For specific parameter values it is possible to find new exact models for the Einstein-Maxwell system in terms of elementary functions. Our model includes a particular charged solution found previously; this suggests that our generalised solution could be used to describe a relativistic compact sphere. A physical analysis indicates that the solutions describe realistic matter distributions.

description: We show that the dressing transformation method produces a new type of dyonic CP^n magnon in terms of which all the other known solutions are either composites or arise as special limits. In particular, this includes the embedding of Dorey's dyonic magnon via an RP^3 subspace of CP^n. We also show how to generate Dorey's dyonic magnon directly in the S^n sigma model via the dressing method without resorting to the isomorphism with the SU(2) principle chiral model when n=3. The new dyon is shown to be either a charged dyon or topological kink of the related symmetric-space sine-Gordon theories associated to CP^n and in this sense is a direct generalization of the soliton of the complex sine-Gordon theory.

description: The main goal of the Pennsylvania - Torun Planet Search (PTPS) is detection and characterization of planets around evolved stars using the high-accuracy radial velocity (RV) technique. The project is performed with the 9.2 m Hobby-Eberly Telescope. To determine stellar parameters and evolutionary status for targets observed within the survey complete spectral analysis of all objects is required. In this paper we present the atmospheric parameters (effective temperatures, surface gravities, microturbulent velocities and metallicities) of a subsample of Red Giant Clump stars using strictly spectroscopic methods based on analysis of equivalent widths of Fe I and Fe II lines. It is shown that our spectroscopic approach brings reliable and consistent results.

We obtain a sharp ?weighted isoperimetric inequality? and a nonsharp classical inequality similar to the one obtained by J. Michael and L. Simon. The proof relies on the description of a solution of the problem of Monge when the initial measure is supported in a submanifold and the final one supported in a linear subspace of the same dimension.

description: The discovery of decay products of a short-lived radioisotope (SLRI) in the Allende meteorite led to the hypothesis that a supernova shock wave transported freshly synthesized SLRI to the presolar dense cloud core, triggered its self-gravitational collapse, and injected the SLRI into the core. Previous multidimensional numerical calculations of the shock-cloud collision process showed that this hypothesis is plausible when the shock wave and dense cloud core are assumed to remain isothermal at ~10 K, but not when compressional heating to ~1000 K is assumed. Our two-dimensional models (Boss et al. 2008) with the FLASH2.5 adaptive mesh refinement (AMR) hydrodynamics code have shown that a 20 km/sec shock front can simultaneously trigger collapse of a 1 solar mass core and inject shock wave material, provided that cooling by molecular species such as H2O, CO, and H2 is included. Here we present the results for similar calculations with shock speeds ranging from 1 km/sec to 100 km/sec. We find that shock speeds in the range from 5 km/sec to 70 km/sec are able to trigger the collapse of a 2.2 solar mass cloud while simultaneously injecting shock wave material: lower speed shocks do not achieve injection, while higher speed shocks do not trigger sustained collapse. The calculations continue to support the shock-wave trigger hypothesis for the formation of the solar system, though the injection efficiencies in the present models are lower than desired.

description: Traditional methodological approaches to language revitalization include methods used within Indigenous communities to teach their heritage language using strategies and tactics unique to their community. For instance, my pokni (grandmother) spoke to the influence active learning methods such as singing had on her Choctaw language development. Traditionally, singing played a large role in Choctaw culture, used on multiple occasions, such as various ceremonies, dances, and times of hardship. My pokni described the way in which Choctaw songs are sung very slowly, in such a way that each syllable is clearly articulated, allowing for an individual to really hear the root sounds of the language. Singing traditional hymns creates a learning environment where one is exposed to common words and phrases in the language within a medium in which the language is heard in a repetitive and slow fashion. And for someone like my pokni who learned Choctaw entirely through oral practices, this one method of language acquisition speaks to a larger understanding of Choctaw's oral methodology of language learning and teaching.
Language revitalization work comes in the form of connecting Native peoples to the culture and knowledge of their respective Indigenous backgrounds through the exploration of their Native languages. As tribes and other Indigenous communities attempt to retain their languages and reclaim their cultural sovereignty, these communities have developed many forms of curriculum and programming rooted in ancestral knowledge and values systems that are consistent with recognizing the pedagogical strengths within Native cultures. In this paper, I will cover the curriculum present in current language revitalization efforts, how tribal values are centered in this work, and how these efforts leverage community interest to ensure language acquisition. These sources reviewed serve as a body of knowledge to help language revitalists understand how Native language curricula can be developed within culturally-sustaining methodologies.

Terai and Hibi showed that if $Δ$ is the boundary complex of a $d$-dimensional stacked polytope with $n$ vertices for $d\geq3$, then $β_{k-1,k}(k[Δ])=(k-1)\binom{n-d}{k}$.

Seismic Site Effects for Shallow and Deep Alluvial Basins: In-Depth Motion and Focusing Effect

description: The main purpose of the paper is the analysis of seismic site effects in various alluvial basins. The analysis is performed considering a numerical approach (Boundary Element Method). Two main cases are considered : a shallow deposit in the centre of Nice (France) [1] and a deep irregular basin in Caracas (Venezuela) [2]. The amplification of seismic motion is analysed in terms of level, occuring frequency and location. For both sites, the amplification factor is found to reach maximum values of 20 (weak motion). Site effects nevertheless have very different features concerning the frequency dependence and the location of maximum amplification. For the shallow deposit in Nice, the amplification factor is very small for low frequencies and fastly increases above 1.0 Hz. The irregular Caracas basin gives a much different frequency dependence with many different peaks at various frequencies. The model for Caracas deep alluvial basin also includes a part of the local topography such as the nearest mountain. One can estimate seismic site effects due to both velocity contrast (between the basin and the bedrock) and local topography of the site. Furthermore, the maximum amplification is located on the surface for Nice, whereas some strong amplification areas also appear inside the basin itself in the case of Caracas. One investigates the influence of this focusing effect on the motion vs depth dependence. This is of great interest for the analysis of seismic response of underground structures. The form and the depth of alluvial deposits are then found to have a great influence on the location of maximum amplification on the surface but also inside the deposit for deep irregular basins. It is essential for the analysis of the seismic response of both surface and underground structures.

Climate Model Code Genealogy and Its Relation to Climate Feedbacks and Sensitivity

Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2023

description: Contemporary general circulation models (GCMs) and Earth system models (ESMs) are developed by a large number of modeling groups globally. They use a wide range of representations of physical processes, allowing for structural (code) uncertainty to be partially quantified with multi-model ensembles (MMEs). Many models in the MMEs of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP) have a common development history due to sharing of code and schemes. This makes their projections statistically dependent and introduces biases in MME statistics. Previous research has focused on model output and code dependence, and model code genealogy of CMIP models has not been fully analyzed. We present a full reconstruction of CMIP3, CMIP5 and CMIP6 code genealogy of 167 atmospheric models, GCMs, and ESMs (of which 114 participated in CMIP) based on the available literature, with a focus on the atmospheric component and atmospheric physics. We identify 12 main model families. We propose family and code weighting methods designed to reduce the effect of model structural dependence in MMEs. We analyze weighted effective climate sensitivity (ECS), climate feedbacks, forcing, and global mean near-surface air temperature, and how they differ by model family. Models in the same family often have similar climate properties. We show that weighting can partially reconcile differences in ECS and cloud feedbacks between CMIP5 and CMIP6. The results can help in understanding structural dependence between CMIP models, and the proposed code and family weighting methods can be used in MME assessments to ameliorate model structural sampling biases.
title: Investigating the Formulation, Characterisation and Performance of Novel Nanomaterials for the Treatment of Iron Deficiency Anaemia
Creators: name: Anderson, Lewis
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2025

description: Iron deficiency anaemia (IDA) is one of the world's most prevalent diseases, affecting over one billion people. Traditionally, the treatment to raise iron levels within IDA sufferers has been through prescribing iron supplementation by oral administration in the form of iron salts, such as ferrous sulphate and ferrous gluconate. However, many are ineffective or cause undesirable side effects, particularly regarding the necessity for such formulations to traverse through the highly acidic environment of the stomach before reaching the duodenum for absorption. As a result, much research has been conducted into novel treatments for IDA that effectively deliver supplementary iron to IDA patients. In recent years advancements have been made in formulating new preparations of iron supplementation, such as the mimicking of Fe (III) oxo-hydroxide, found in ferritin – the iron storage protein, which has shown promise during in vivo testing. The relatively high acid lability of these Fe (III) oxo-hydroxide nanoparticles, however, limits their bioavailability via oral administration due to nanoparticle degradation while passing through the stomach.

 The experiments and results within this thesis have explored the use of biocompatible polymer materials in the form of nanofibers to potentially facilitate safe passage of iron through the stomach and ultimately delivering the iron cargo to the duodenum in a bioavailable form. Fe (III) oxo-hydroxide nanoparticles and ferrous gluconate salts have been successfully loaded within pH sensitive nanofibers in which shielding has been achieved at low pH (pH 1.0), before polymer chain dissolution and iron delivery upon increasing to pH 7.2. Additionally, a novel and dynamic system has been developed, wherein the sparingly soluble iron centred complex of hemin has been shielded within a pH 1.0 environment, before the use of a secondary biocompatible polymer to increase hemin solubility upon its release at pH 7.2, thus raising its bioavailability for cellular uptake.

description: The use of hydrodynamical simulations, the selection of atomic data, and the computation of deviations from local thermodynamical equilibrium for the analysis of the solar spectra have implied a downward revision of the solar metallicity. We are in the process of using the latest simulations computed with the CO5BOLD code to reassess the solar chemical composition. We determine the solar photospheric carbon abundance by using a radiation-hydrodynamical CO5BOLD model, and compute the departures from local thermodynamical equilibrium by using the Kiel code. We measure equivalent widths of atomic CI lines on high resolution, high signal-to-noise ratio solar atlases. Deviations from local thermodynamic equilibrium are computed in 1D with the Kiel code. Our recommended value for the solar carbon abundance, relies on 98 independent measurements of observed lines and is A(C)=8.50+-0.06, the quoted error is the sum of statistical and systematic error. Combined with our recent results for the solar oxygen and nitrogen abundances this implies a solar metallicity of Z=0.0154 and Z/X=0.0211. Our analysis implies a solar carbon abundance which is about 0.1 dex higher than what was found in previous analysis based on different 3D hydrodynamical computations. The difference is partly driven by our equivalent width measurements (we measure, on average, larger equivalent widths with respect to the other work based on a 3D model), in part it is likely due to the different properties of the hydrodynamical simulations and the spectrum synthesis code. The solar metallicity we obtain from the CO5BOLD analyses is in slightly better agreement with the constraints of helioseismology than the previous 3D abundance results. (Abridged)

description: A short overview of the billiard approach for cosmological-type models with n Einstein factor-spaces is presented. We start with the billiard representation for pseudo-Euclidean Toda-like systems of cosmological origin. Then we consider cosmological model with multicomponent "perfect-fluid" and cosmological-type model with composite branes. The second one describes cosmological and spherically-symmetric configurations in a theory with scalar fields and fields of forms. The conditions for appearance of asymptotical Kasner-like and oscillating behaviors in the limit τ\to +0 and τ\to + \infty (where τis a "synchronous-type" variable) are formulated (e.g. in terms of inequalities on Kasner parameters). Examples of billiards related to the hyperbolic Kac-Moody algebras E_{10}, AE_3 and A_{1,II} are given.

The architecture eliminates the need for server-side programming in most cases, creation and management of online database storage servers, re-creation of user management schemes and writing a lot of unnecessary code for accessing different web-based services using their APIs. A Web API provides a common API for various web-based services like Blogger [2], Wordpress, MSN Live, Facebook [3] etc. Access Libraries provided for major programming languages and platforms make it easy to develop applications using the Flare Web Service. We demonstrate a simple micro-blogging service developed using these APIs in two modes: a graphical browser-based mode, and a command-line mode in C++, which provide two different interfaces to the same account and data.

description:  

Milk fever or parturient paresis is one of the most commonly occurring metabolic diseases of high yielding dairy cows. Milk fever occurs immediately after calving for acute deficiency of calcium as a result of huge drainage of calcium through colostrum, and subsequently through milk, unless the cow is supplemented with enough calcium to meet her requirement or she can rapidly mobilize calcium from her body stores mainly from bones.
title: Ecophysiological exploration: the microbiota, metabolic rate and behaviour of juvenile Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar)

description: Across many taxa, there is wide intra- and interspecific variation in metabolic rate and in the microbial community composition within the gut. In separate studies, both the metabolic rate and the gut microbiota of an organism have been shown to be related to diet, environment and ontogeny or life history, all of which can have repercussions on survival. Nonetheless, few studies have examined a host’s gut microbiota and metabolic rate concurrently. The experiments within this thesis explore whether a relationship exists between the gut microbiota and metabolic rate in juvenile Atlantic salmon. In addition, this thesis examines whether the genetic origin of the fish can account for any variation in the gut microbial community composition, host physiology, or in host behaviour. To the author's knowledge, these experiments are the first to demonstrate a link between the metabolic rate and the gut microbiota in Atlantic salmon. importantly, the use of common garden experiments uncovered that the genetic background of the fish had an impact on both fish physiology and the gut microbiota. Additionally, rearing environment was shown to impact fish behaviour, which could have consequences for fish physiology, metabolic rate and their gut microbiota. These findings not only highlight the need to consider the gut microbiota when studying host physiology, but also has implications for aquaculture, particularly within the context of fish farm escapees.
Origine più antiche di morale ed etica al di là di teologia, religioni e politica?

description: Il taccuino è un'indagine sulle diverse declinazioni della Torah, intesa non solo come testo ebraico, ma come paradigma universale di insegnamento, conoscenza e ordine del mondo, applicato a più tradizioni religiose e filosofiche. Si sviluppa in una classificazione delle Torah come rivelazione, via spirituale, legge naturale, scienza dell’essere, trasformazione interiore e guida storica. Il focus si sposta poi su questioni antropologiche ed evolutive legate alla morale e all’etica, distinguendo tra morale biologica e costruzione etica razionale. Infine, il testo propone una critica radicale ai sistemi morali universali, evidenziandone i limiti e suggerendo un approccio pragmatico e materiale alla vita, libero da sovrastrutture normative.

description: We present a series of arguments showing that the Seebeck coefficient can be used as a decisive experiment to characterize the nature of the quantum critical point (QCP) in heavy fermion compounds. Being reactive almost exclusively to the presence of delocalized entropic carriers, the Seebeck coefficient shows a drastic collapse at the Kondo breakdown QCP, as the reconstruction of the Fermi surface takes place. In contrast, around a Spin Density Wave (SDW) QCP, the Seebeck coefficient is broadly symmetric. We discuss the possibility of a change of sign at the QCP, the characteristic variation of $| S / T | $ with temperature and external parameter, as well as the capacity of the Seebeck coefficient to distinguish between localized and itinerant anti-ferromagnetism (AF). Suggestions of experiments are given in the case of four non conventional compounds : YbRh$_2$Si$_2$, Ce(Mn)In$_5$, CeCu$_{6-x}$Au$_x$ and URu$_2$Si$_2$.

description: Nel 2015 l’Università del Piemonte Orientale, il Politecnico di Torino, l’Università degli Studi di Torino, con il finanziamento della Regione Piemonte e la partecipazione di Finpiemonte S.p.A., hanno pubblicato il bando per il primo Master di primo livello in “Management del Software Libero”. Il master, attraverso un approfondito programma di studio articolato e declinato secondo le tematiche più attuali, ha cercato non solo di affrontare gli argomenti appena evidenziati ma anche di mettere a punto delle “linee guida” condivise su come: favorire il passaggio da strumenti proprietari verso strumenti liberi; affrontare gli aspetti legali e di licenza; gestire il cambiamento. Oltre a questo, a nostro avviso, bisognerebbe evidenziare come poter corrispondere il "dovuto" al mondo libero, ovvero come restituire alla comunità quanto ricevuto liberamente, ad esempio: partecipando (attivamente) alle varie liste di discussione; segnalando eventuali bachi (ed eventualmente proponendo od effettuando la correzione); traducendo parti del manuale d’uso o del tutorial; offrendo un contributo economico. In particolare, il percorso formativo ha affrontato ed approfondito diversi aspetti propri delle seguenti macro aree: Ambito Tecnologico Elementi di amministrazione di sistema * ING INF/05 Elementi di programmazione * ING INF/05 Dati aperti * ING INF/05 Ambito Giuridico Le licenze di software * IUS/04 La tutela giuridica del software * IUS/04 Software, dati e public sector information * IUS/04 Ambito Economico Organizzazione aziendale * SECS-P/10 Project Management – Organizzazione e gestione del cambiamento * SECS-P/10 Project Management – Pianificazione e controllo * SECS-P/07 Questo lavoro di ricerca cercherà di esporre i risultati ottenuti a partire da questo momento formativo; poiché tutti gli autori provengono dalla Pubblica Amministrazione, particolare attenzione verrà dedicata alle implicazione del software libero nel contesto del settore pubblico.

description: The puzzle of the thermodynamic arrow of time reduces to the question of how the universe could have had lower entropy in the past. I show that no special entropy lowering mechanism (or fluctuation) is necessary. As a consequence of expansion, at a particular epoch in the history of the universe a state that was near maximum entropy under the dominant short range forces becomes extremely unlikely, due to a switchover to newly dominant long range forces. This happened at about the time of decoupling, prior to which I make no statement about arrows. The role of cosmology in thermodynamics was first suggested by T. Gold.

On the evolution of superposition of squeezed displaced number states with the multiphoton Jaynes-Cummings model

description: In this paper we discuss the quantum properties for superposition of squeezed displaced number states against multiphoton Jaynes-Cummings model (JCM). In particular, we investigate atomic inversion, photon-number distribution, purity, quadrature squeezing, Mandel $Q$ parameter and Wigner function. We show that the quadrature squeezing for three-photon absorption case can exhibit revivals and collapses typical to those occurring in the atomic inversion for one-photon absorption case. Also we prove that for odd number absorption parameter there is a connection between the evolution of the atomic inversion and the evolution of the Wigner function at the origin in phase space. Furthermore, we show that the nonclassical states whose the Wigner functions values at the origins are negative will be always nonclassical when they are evolving through the JCM with even absorption parameter. Also we demonstrate that various types of cat states can be generated via this system.

description: The Parker or field line tangling model of coronal heating is investigated through long-time high-resolution simulations of the dynamics of a coronal loop in cartesian geometry within the framework of reduced magnetohydrodynamics (RMHD). Slow photospheric motions induce a Poynting flux which saturates by driving an anisotropic turbulent cascade dominated by magnetic energy and characterized by current sheets elongated along the axial magnetic field. Increasing the value of the axial magnetic field different regimes of MHD turbulence develop with a bearing on coronal heating rates. In physical space magnetic field lines at the scale of convection cells appear only slightly bended in agreement with observations of large loops of current (E)UV and X-ray imagers.

The current banking regulation is pressed on the supervision, the discipline of the market and the ratios prudential; in particular the ratios of the minimal own capital stocks. The object of this article is the presentation of the architecture of the new agreement of Basle (1999) which is based on three pillars consolidating it self mutually.
