description: We tested the hypothesis that age-related time production deficits are dopamine-mediated. The experiment was conducted double-blind, and with random assignment of 32 healthy aged and 32 healthy young participants to either inert placebo or levodopa (200 mg) groups. The procedure included training participants to produce two target time intervals (6 and 17 sec) in separate blocks, drug/placebo administration, a 1-hr delay, and then delayed free-recall time production retesting without feedback. Participants also performed a speeded choice reaction time (RT) task, as a control for potential dopaminergic and aging effects on attention and psychomotor speed. Results indicate that during retesting, aged participants show duration-dependent timing errors that are larger than those shown by the young participants. Levodopa administration yielded lengthened time production of both target intervals. The aging and levodopa effects did not interact. Also, aging slowed RT and increased RT variability, but levodopa had no effect on the RT. These results suggest that at this dosage and under these specific conditions, timing is dopamine-mediated but the effect of aging on time production is not. Moreover, the levodopa timing effect cannot be attributed to the effects of dopaminergic function on psychomotor speed.

En 2018 cinq couples de Spatules blanches se sont reproduits au sein de la héronnière du lac de Maine près d’Angers. Parmi ces couples, deux se sont cantonnés dans la seconde semaine de juillet et ont produit des jeunes dont les envols se sont échelonnés entre les 10 et 22 septembre. Une chronologie de nidification aussi tardive paraît assez exceptionnelle en France.-----------In 2018 five pairs of Eurasian Spoonbills bred in the heronry on Lake of Maine near Angers. Of these couples, two stayed in the second week of July and produced youngsters that flew between September 10 and 22. Such a late nesting chronology seems quite exceptional in France.
title: River Hydrology, Morphology, and Dynamics in an Intensively Managed, Transient Landscape
Creators: name: Kelly, Sara Ann
Publisher: name: Utah State University

description: Rivers create beautiful patterns and provide drinking water to millions. However an alarming number of rivers in the US and globally are threatened by excess sediment and nutrients. Agricultural rivers draining erodible soils are particularly vulnerable. Rivers of southern Minnesota provide a unique opportunity to study water and sediment dynamics in a naturally vulnerable system. Sediment reduction strategies are needed to ensure biological integrity and adequate water quality. Here, I address the questions: 1) have climate, land use practices, or both affected streamflows in Midwest agricultural rivers?, 2) which streamflows set the rate of river bluff erosion?, and 3) how do sediment supply and transport influence the form and behavior of the lower Minnesota River? Chapter 2 demonstrates, in three agricultural basins, that artificial drainage practices have decreased soil moisture, contributing to increases in streamflow. Chapter 3 quantifies river bluff erosion and identifies erosion by streamflows as the dominant erosion process. Erosion by common floods accomplishes the most cumulative bluff erosion. Bluff erosion contributes sediment to the Minnesota River. Chapter 4 shows how this coarse sediment influences the form and behavior of the Minnesota River. Therefore if flows were reduced, bluff erosion would slow, and the supply sediment to the Minnesota would slow, leading to less streambank erosion. Since streamflows have been increased by agricultural drainage practices, water retention solutions are needed to reduce high flows.

title: Elevating Outdoor Recreation Together: Opportunities for Collaboration Between State Offices of Outdoor Recreation and Federal Land Management Agencies
Creators: name: Sausser, Brooke A.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2019

description: Outdoor recreation is a robust pillar of local, state, and national economies as well as a critical component of residents’ quality of life. Recognition of the economic power of the outdoor industry, fused with the growing desire for greater outdoor recreation opportunities, has inspired more than 11 states to establish state offices of outdoor recreation. The organizational structure and mission of each office is tailored to each state, varying from temporary task forces, councils, and commissions to more permanent offices or advisory positions. These offices, though embedded within various sectors of state government, often coordinate across or blend the functions of economic development, tourism, and land management, ultimately providing innovative opportunities for collaboration. While the state offices universally seek to develop the outdoor recreation economy, that economy fundamentally relies on access to natural landscapes, the vast majority of which are managed by the federal land management agencies in the Department of Interior and the Department of Agriculture.
The purpose of this study is to explore how these state offices have evolved and now operate, including their formation, goals and programs, internal organization and resources, and external partnerships. Through comprehensive interviews with each office’s leadership, our research provides a baseline understanding of the role of these new offices and addresses their partnerships at the local, state, and federal levels. I discuss challenges each office has faced, best practices, and recommendations for future collaboration. The findings of this research will better inform the National Park Service and other federal land management agencies on opportunities to support shared recreation and conservation goals. Together, the newly created state offices of outdoor recreation and the stewards of their public lands can promote and enhance the economic, social, and environmental benefits of outdoor recreation.

description: Context. By now more than 300 planets transiting their host star have been found, and much effort is being put into measuring the properties of each system. Light curves of planetary transits often contain deviations from a simple transit shape, and it is generally difficult to differentiate between anomalies of astrophysical nature (e.g. starspots) and correlated noise due to instrumental or atmospheric effects. Our solution is to observe transit events simultaneously with two telescopes located at different observatories. Aims. Using this observational strategy, we look for anomalies in the light curves of two transiting planetary systems and accurately estimate their physical parameters. Methods. We present the first photometric follow-up of the transiting planet HAT-P-16 b, and new photometric observations of WASP-21 b, obtained simultaneously with two medium-class telescopes located in different countries, using the telescope defocussing technique. We modeled these and other published data in order to estimate the physical parameters of the two planetary systems. Results. The simultaneous observations did not highlight particular features in the light curves, which is consistent with the low activity levels of the two stars. For HAT-P-16, we calculated a new ephemeris and found that the planet is 1.3 σcolder and smaller (Rb = 1.190 \pm 0.037 RJup) than the initial estimates, suggesting the presence of a massive core. Our physical parameters for this system point towards a younger age than previously thought. The results obtained for WASP-21 reveal lower values for the mass and the density of the planet (by 1.0 σand 1.4 σrespectively) with respect to those found in the discovery paper, in agreement with a subsequent study. We found no evidence of any transit timing variations in either system.

description: University online seats have gradually become complex systems of dynamic information where all their institutions and services are linked and potentially accessible. These online seats now constitute a central node around which universities construct and document their main activities and services. This information can be quantitative measured by cybermetric techniques in order to design university web rankings, taking the university as a global reference unit. However, previous research into web subunits shows that it is possible to carry out systemic web analyses, which open up the possibility of carrying out studies which address university diversity, necessary for both describing the university in greater detail and for establishing comparable ranking units. To address this issue, a multilevel university cybermetric analysis model is proposed, based on parts (core and satellite), levels (institutional and external) and sublevels (contour and internal), providing a deeper analysis of institutions. Finally the model is integrated into another which is independent of the technique used, and applied by analysing Harvard University as an example of use.

There was lacking above ail a good history of the Provençal MSS. of Italy, dealing with that century when they were collected and preserved with such a great solicitude. This is the subject dealt with by Debenedetti in this volume.

description: A remarkable phenomenon in the time evolution of many networks such as cultural, political, national and economic systems, is the recurrent transition between the states of union and division of nodes. In this work, we propose a phenomenological modeling, inspired by the maxim "long union divides and long division unites", in order to investigate the evolutionary characters of these networks composed of the entities whose behaviors are dominated by these two events. The nodes are endowed with quantities such as identity, ingredient, richness (power), openness (connections), age, distance, interaction etc. which determine collectively the evolution in a probabilistic way. Depending on a tunable parameter, the time evolution of this model is mainly an alternative domination of union or division state, with a possible state of final union dominated by one single node.

description: Background: Lewy bodies (LBs) and Lewy neurites are frequent concomitant neuropathologic observations in clinical and neuropathologically defined Alzheimer disease (AD), but their relation to clinical features in AD is uncertain. Most studies used semiquantitative measures to determine the presence or absence of LB abnormalities. Objective: To determine the clinical consequences of LB abnormalities in the setting of AD. Design: Prospective study. Setting: Three outpatient research and treatment centers. Participants: Fourteen autopsy cases with a pathologic diagnosis of AD abnormalities and concomitant LBs followed semiannually for up to 8 years (mean age at intake, 72 years; mean age at death, 77 years; mean education, 15 years; 12 women). Main Outcome Measures: The modified Mini-Mental State Examination was used to assess cognitive function. The Unified Parkinson Disease Rating Scale was used to rate extrapyramidal motor signs. Hallucinations were evaluated using the Columbia University Scale for Psychopathology in Alzheimer's Disease. Time from the first evaluation in which diagnostic criteria for probable AD were met to death was used to determine illness duration. Quantitative measures of LB abnormalities were obtained for the frontal cortex, entorhinal cortex, substantia nigra, and hippocampus. Results: Independent-samples t tests were used to assess whether the degree of LB abnormality varied as a function of the presence or absence of hallucinations and extrapyramidal signs. Pearson r correlations were run to examine whether there was a relation among LB abnormalities, cognitive function, and illness duration. There was no relation between quantitative neuropathologic indexes of LB abnormalities and clinical outcome. Conclusion: The variability of clinical features in AD was not related to the presence or degree of LB abnormalities.
Review: Through Bankruptcy with the Creditors' Bargain Heuristic

description: I develop this thesis in Part I of the essay. A review of the basic creditors' bargain theme illustrates its extraordinary power as a method of understanding and justifying prominent features of bankruptcy law. Part II introduces an alternative heuristic which can be seen as either a complementary or a competing vision. This vision highlights the limits of any single heuristic and demonstrates the value of a richer conception of the bankruptcy process. Yet, such additional themes can be introduced successfully only if the student previously has been grounded in bankruptcy theory. Thus, I conclude that the Baird and Jackson conceptual framework is a significant advance in the teaching of the bankruptcy law even for those who do not share their unqualified commitment to the creditors' bargain heuristic.

description: In the probability theory limit distributions (or probability measures) are often characterized by some convolution equations (factorization properties) rather than by Fourier transforms (the characteristic functionals). In fact, usually the later follows the first one. Equations, in question, involve the multiplication by the positive scalars $c$ or an action of the corresponding dilation $T_{c}$ on measures. In such a setting, it seems that there is no way for stopping times (or in general, for the stochastic analysis) to come into the "picture". However, if one accepts the view that the primary objective, in the classical limit distributions theory, is to describe the limiting distributions (or random variables) by the tools of random integrals/functionals then one can use the stopping times. In this paper we illustrate such a possibility in the case of selfdecomposability random variables (i.e. Lévy class L) with values in a real separable Banach space. Also some applications of our approach to perpetuity laws are presented; cf. \cite{Du1}, \cite{ED1}, \cite{GG1}. In fact, we show that all selfdecomposable distributions are perpetuity laws.
Exposure and Vulnerability of Children living in Unregulated Red Light Areas of Ibadan, Nigeria

description: Although the practice of commercial sex work is illegal in Nigeria, sex work activities and brothels still thrive in residential neighbourhoods across the country, leaving residents as proximate and direct victims of unregulated sex business. Yet, relatively little research exists on the exposures and vulnerabilities of young adults who spend their childhood in communities that host sex business in the country. To address this, a qualitative study was conducted with people who had children that grew up in the red lights areas, and the challenges of parenting by the participants in environments where prostitution thrived were explored. Fifty-seven interviews were conducted, and a thematic analysis of the narratives was carried out. Findings indicated that the activities of sex work and sex workers in these environments pose a threat to the physical, social, cognitive, moral and educational development of the children. The rate of children’s engagement in premarital sex, consumption of illicit drugs, alcoholic intake, stealing, street fighting, and school dropout was found to be a factor of their closeness to sex work and workers in red light areas. These findings have important implications for policy and practice if children’s welfare and developmental needs are to be recognised and met.

description: Unemployment is a problem for individuals with disabilities. Supported employment provides occupational supports for individuals with disabilities to get a job and keep that job once hired. The Performance Diagnostic Checklist-Human Services (PDC-HS) is used to address performance problems with employees in human services settings. This study evaluated using the PDC-HS with three adults with intellectual disabilities working in supported employment at a library cleaning shelves. The results of the PDC-HS identified insufficient training and prompting as barriers. The matched intervention package was effective in increasing performance of the shelf-cleaning task for all participants. Participant responses to a social validity questionnaire indicated that all participants thought the study was fair, they liked the way they were taught to clean the shelf, and felt that being in the study helped them improve at their job.

description: Purpose: Performing back squats with elastic bands has been widely used in resistance training. Although research demonstrated greater training effects obtained from adding elastic bands to the back squat, little is known regarding the optimal elastic resistance and how it affects neuromuscular performance. This study aimed to compare the force, velocity, power, and muscle activity during back squats with different contributions of elastic resistance. Methods: Thirteen basketball players performed 3 repetitions of the back squat at 85% of 1-repetition maximum across 4 conditions: (1) total load from free weight and (2) 20%, (3) 30%, and (4) 40% of the total load from elastic band and the remaining load from free weight. The eccentric and concentric phases of the back squat were divided into upper, middle, and bottom phases. Results: In the eccentric phase, mean velocity progressively increased with increasing elastic resistance, and muscle activity of the vastus medialis and rectus femoris significantly increased with the largest elastic resistance in the upper phase (P ≤ .036). In the concentric phase, mean power (P ≤ .021) and rate of force development (P ≤ .002) significantly increased with increasing elastic resistance. Furthermore, muscle activity of the vastus lateralis and vastus medialis significantly improved with the largest elastic resistance in the upper phases (P ≤ .021). Conclusion: Velocity, power, rate of force development, and selective muscle activity increased as the elastic resistance increased in different phases during the back-squat exercise.

description: We investigate the diagnostic capabilities of the iron lines for tracing the physical conditions of the shock-excited gas in jets driven by pre-main sequence stars. We have analyzed the 300-2500 nm X-shooter spectra of two jets driven by the pre-main sequence stars ESO-Halpha 574 and Par-Lup 3-4. Both spectra are very rich in [FeII] lines over the whole spectral range; in addition, lines from [FeIII] are detected in the ESO-Hα574 spectrum. NLTE codes along with codes for the ionization equilibrium are used to derive the gas excitation conditions of electron temperature and density, and fractional ionization. The iron gas-phase abundance is provided by comparing the iron lines emissivity with that of [OI] 630 nm. The [FeII] lines indicate ESO-Halpha 574 jet is, on average, colder (T_e = 9000 K), less dense (n_e = 2 10^4 cm^-3) and more ionized (x_e = 0.7) than the Par-Lup 3-4 jet (T_e = 13000 K, n_e = 6 10^4 cm^-3, x_e < 0.4), even if the existence of a higher density component (n_e = 2 10^5 cm^-3) is probed by the [FeIII] and [FeII] ultra-violet lines. Theoretical models suggest that the shock at work in ESO-Halpha 574 is faster and likely more energetic than the Par-Lup 3-4 shock. This latter feature is confirmed by the high percentage of gas-phase iron measured in ESO-Halpha 574 (50-60% of its solar abundance in comparison with less than 30% in Par-Lup 3-4), which testifies that the ESO-Halpha 574 shock is powerful enough to partially destroy the dust present inside the jet. This work demonstrates that a multiline Fe analysis can be effectively used to probe the excitation and ionization conditions of the gas in a jet without any assumption on ionic abundances. The main limitation on the diagnostics resides in the large uncertainties of the atomic data, which, however, can be overcome through a statistical approach involving many lines.

description: The Archive Histôrico Nacional contains among its treasures two MSS. with thé same signature 927–B, one of which bears the additional name of Becerro de Benevivere (or Bembivere). My attention was called to it by a learned note in J. Amador de los Rios, Historia critica de la Literatura Española, tom. II, p. 240, note l, where after mentioning the existence of several Latin poems on Spanish subjects he adds "no siendo menos notable el Poema de Benevivere, en que se célébra la fundacion de este monasterio por don Diego Martinez de Villa Mayor, obra debida á Pascasio, primer abad de dicha casa. Guârdase este raro monumento en la Real Academia de la Historia entre otros códices, traidos de Benevivere; y carece de principio, tratandose en el cuerpo.del poema de las virtudes de don Diego, su valia, su poder, y su piedad; y narrandose la fundacion, dotacion, eleccion de abad, y confirmacion apostolica, amonestase por ultimo à seguir honesta y santa vida, dândose noticia de la cristiana muerte de don Diego, de la adopcion que hace Alfonso VIII del monasterio y de la visita, con que le honra y favorece." None of the books to which I have access state when this fondo was transferred to the Archivo. the MS. in question is not a true Becerro at all, but merely contains a series of works written at or about the Convent.

description: While performing a survey to detect recoiling supermassive black holes, we have identified an unusual source having a projected offset of 800 pc from a nearby dwarf galaxy. The object, SDSS J113323.97+550415.8, exhibits broad emission lines and strong variability. While originally classified as a supernova (SN) because of its nondetection in 2005, we detect it in recent and past observations over 63 yr and find over a magnitude of rebrightening in the last 2 years. Using high-resolution adaptive optics observations, we constrain the source emission region to be <12 pc and find a disturbed host-galaxy morphology indicative of recent merger activity. Observations taken over more than a decade show narrow [O III] lines, constant ultraviolet emission, broad Balmer lines, a constant putative black hole mass over a decade of observations despite changes in the continuum, and optical emission-line diagnostics consistent with an active galactic nucleus (AGN). However, the optical spectra exhibit blueshifted absorption, and eventually narrow Fe II and [Ca II] emission, each of which is rarely found in AGN spectra. While this peculiar source displays many of the observational properties expected of a potential black hole recoil candidate, some of the properties could also be explained by a luminous blue variable star (LBV) erupting for decades since 1950, followed by a Type IIn SN in 2001. Interpreted as an LBV followed by a SN analogous to SN 2009ip, the multi-decade LBV eruptions would be the longest ever observed, and the broad Halpha emission would be the most luminous ever observed at late times (>10 yr), larger than that of unusually luminous supernovae such as SN 1988Z, suggesting one of the most extreme episodes of pre-SN mass loss ever discovered.

Illustrations of Chaucer. Drawn chiefly from Deschamps

description: The following notes are not intended, in any instance, to suggest new sources from which Chaucer may have drawn. If they add fresh vividness here and there to the background of contemporary manners and customs against which some of Chaucer's lines demand projection, they will have served their turn. That they throw interesting light upon certain salient differences between Deschamps's art and that of Chaucer is also true. But consideration of that I wish to reserve until another time.
Biological effects and equivalent doses in radiotherapy: a software solution

description: The limits of TDF (time, dose, and fractionation) and linear quadratic models have been known for a long time. Medical physicists and physicians are required to provide fast and reliable interpretations regarding the delivered doses or any future prescriptions relating to treatment changes. We therefore propose a calculation interface under the GNU license to be used for equivalent doses, biological doses, and normal tumor complication probability (Lyman model). The methodology used draws from several sources: the linear-quadratic-linear model of Astrahan, the repopulation effects of Dale, and the prediction of multi-fractionated treatments of Thames. The results are obtained from an algorithm that minimizes an ad-hoc cost function, and then compared to the equivalent dose computed using standard calculators in seven French radiotherapy centers.
title: Spring Precipitation in Intermountain West Influenced by Quasi-Biennial Oscillation
Creators: name: Phelps, Jason A.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2019

description: Unusually wet spring seasons in the Intermountain West (IW) have been linked to a wind fluctuation in higher levels of the atmosphere near the equator. Strong westerly winds during October-January often result in unusually wet conditions in the following spring. Average winds near the equator at 75,000 feet above the earth’s surface can be split into different categories according to wind direction: westerly (positive), easterly (negative), and transitional. Composites of winter and spring precipitation anomalies based on these different categories show that strong westerly winds occur in October-January prior to most extreme spring precipitation events. Drier springs tend to occur after easterly winds the preceding fall. Analysis of the atmospheric processes causing this wind pattern suggests that the intensity of spring precipitation in the IW may be forecast, based on winds in the upper atmosphere months in advance. These findings are useful for the IW because extreme wet springs could lead to floods, such as those in spring 1983 and 2011, and affect the amount of water available from spring runoff.

description: Charles, son of Gaucher and uncle of Scévole de Sainte-Marthe,was born in
1512 at the abbey of Fontevrault, to which his father was physician-in-ordinary.
He studied law and theology at Poitiers, and in 1533 began teaching in the
Collège de Guyenne, at Bordeaux, where he remained only a brief time. After
a year's wandering in the province of Guyenne, he returned to Fontevrault, and
shortly after received his doctorate at Poitiers. Appointed Regius Professor of
theology in the University of Poitiers (1537), his leanings toward the Reformation
brought about his exile from Poitiers. For a year or two he wandered in
Dauphiné, Provence, and Languedoc. In 1540 he was imprisonedat Grenoble on
account of his religious opinions, but was soon released and accepted a
chair of languages (Hebrew, Greek, Latin, and French) in the Collège de la Trinité, at Lyons. Early in 1541 he went to Geneva for a short stay. He returned to
Grenoble, and was imprisoned for over two years as "a suspected Lutheran and
fomenter of sédition." In 1544 he entered the service of Françoise, Duchess of
Beaumont, to whom he owed "the beginning of happier fortunes." He also
became an officer in the household of Marguerite of Navarre and lieutenant
criminel of Alençon. He died at Alençon in 1555.
title: Hydraulic Average of Multiple Tap Sets to Improve Performance of Venturi Flowmeters With Upstream Disturbance
Creators: name: Stauffer, Taylor
Publisher: name: Utah State University

description: Venturi flowmeters have been used to measure flow in piped systems for over 100 years (Finnemore & Franzini, 2006). There has been much research on the performance of Venturi flowmeters and for that reason they have become popular flowmeters used in various municipal and industrial applications. Venturi flowmeters can be calibrated in a laboratory setting to find their performance characteristics. In order for the flowmeter to achieve optimum performance, the flowmeter should be installed with sufficient length of straight pipe immediately upstream of the flowmeter. Often Venturi flowmeters that are not installed in ideal conditions produce errors and uncertainty is introduced to the flow measurement. This study used multiple tap sets on Venturi flowmeters in order to reduce error and uncertainty when a Venturi flowmeter is installed in non-ideal conditions. The multiple taps sets were used to measure an average of the hydraulic pressure within the flowmeter.

description: The massive amounts of geolocation data collected from mobile phone records has sparked an ongoing effort to understand and predict the mobility patterns of human beings. In this work, we study the extent to which social phenomena are reflected in mobile phone data, focusing in particular in the cases of urban commute and major sports events. We illustrate how these events are reflected in the data, and show how information about the events can be used to improve predictability in a simple model for a mobile phone user's location.
