description: Grain alignment is a key factor that determines the performance of a superconducting bulk. In this study, the spark plasma texturing (SPT) technique was used to fabricate a CaKFe$_4$As$_4$ superconducting bulk. X-ray diffraction and electron backscatter diffraction revealed that the $c$-axes of the CaKFe$_4$As$_4$ grains in the SPT bulk are aligned, demonstrating that the SPT technique is effective in achieving $c$-axis texture. In addition, chemical composition analysis showed that oxide impurities, which affect the grain boundary characteristics that determine the inter-grain critical current density ($J_c$), are randomly distributed in the SPT bulk. Magnetization measurements showed high $J_c$ values of the SPT bulk, reaching 127 kA cm$^{-2}$ and 26 kA cm$^{-2}$ at 4.2 K under a self-field and magnetic field of 5 T, respectively. These results suggest that the SPT technique is a promising approach for obtaining a high-performance superconducting bulk material for high-field applications.

description: Employing spins in quantum dots for fault-tolerant quantum computing in large-scale qubit arrays with on-chip control electronics requires high-fidelity qubit operation at elevated temperature. This poses a challenge for single spin initialization and readout. Existing schemes rely on Zeeman splitting or Pauli spin blockade with typical energy scales of 0.1 or 1 meV for electron-based qubits, so that sufficient fidelity is obtained only at temperatures around or below 0.1 or 1 K, respectively. Here we describe a method to achieve high temperature spin selectivity in a quantum dot using a reservoir with a spin accumulation, which deterministically sets the spin of a single electron on the dot. Since spin accumulation as large as 10 meV is achievable in silicon, spin selection with electrically adjustable error rates below $10^{-4}$ is possible even in a liquid He bath at 4 K. Via the reservoir spin accumulation, induced and controlled by a nearby ferromagnet, classical information (magnetization direction) is mapped onto a spin qubit. These features provide the prospect of spin qubit operation at elevated temperatures and connect the worlds of quantum computing and spintronics.

description: Key Findings -Economic research has found that FRA policies in Zambia have stabilized maize prices around higher average levels, benefiting large surplus maize producers, imposing costs on poor maize deficit households, and imposing substantial costs on the Zambian treasury. However, maize price fluctuations may have additional effects besides those taken into account in the traditional price stabilization welfare analysis framework—effects on malnutrition and on the survival probability of the poor. --We currently know very little about these malnutrition and survival probability effects. -We highlight the need to include these malnutrition and survival probability effects into the policy analysis framework and suggest some way to begin this task.

Molecular epidemiology of malaria in Papua-Indonesia
Creators: name: Imitola, Zuleima Pava
Publisher: name: Charles Darwin University
Year: 2017

description: Papua is the most easterly province of Indonesia and has one of the highest burdens of malaria in Asia, with drug resistance documented for both P. falciparum and P. vivax. Improved surveillance systems are needed to overcome specific challenges arising from the declining transmission of malaria. This thesis aimed to investigate the benefits of incorporating molecular tools into traditional surveillance. Principal findings include the following: Firstly asymptomatic and submicroscopic infections in this area constitute two thirds of detectable parasitaemia and are associated with significant morbidity, highlighting the importance of identifying and treating patients with low-level asymptomatic infection. Secondly, co-endemic P. falciparum and P. vivax have contrasting micro-epidemiology. Molecular analyses demonstrate intense transmission of P. vivax, but more focal and lower transmission intensity in P. falciparum. Thirdly, parasites from asymptomatic and symptomatic patients are from genetically similar populations, demonstrating that passive sampling is appropriate for molecular parasite surveillance. Fourthly, the implementation of highly effective schizontocidal treatment with artemisininbased combination therapy (ACT) reduced the proportion of polyclonal infections in P. falciparum and P. vivax, suggesting reduction in transmission of both species. However, the reduction was greater in the P. falciparum population. Finally, the expression of the P. vivax chloroquine resistance transporter orthologue (pvcrto) is not a primary determinant of ex vivo response to chloroquine, and thus not an appropriate molecular marker of drug resistant P. vivax. This dissertation provides evidence of the benefit of incorporating molecular tools into malaria surveillance by characterising the asymptomatic reservoir and its impact on clinical disease and transmission dynamics, evaluating the suitability of passive molecular surveillance and its usefulness to measure the effect of malaria control interventions, and contributing to the validation of molecular markers of chloroquine resistance in P. vivax.

description: Chronic pain is one of the most common conditions within the United States. It affects at least 116 million people and has immense economic impacts, costing $560 to $635 billion a year. Although there are some applications of telemedicine in chronic pain management, few methods exist utilizing video mediated communication (VMC) directly between health professionals and chronic pain patients. Surprisingly, no research to-date has provided a comprehensive understanding of the opportunity VMC poses for the treatment of chronic pain. To fill this gap in knowledge, the goal for this thesis was to examine the current state of research on telemedicine and VMC to fully understand it’s potential. The review conducted, yields promising insight that helps to establish how VMC may indeed improve treatment for chronic pain patients. Previous research demonstrates that cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) provided through face to face (FTF) interactions does not have significant benefits when compared to CBT provided through video mediated communication (VMC). Similarly, telemedicine and CBT, together, could provide a more efficient treatment methodology for chronic pain patients in the 21st century. This thesis discusses successful cases of VMC in other fields of medicine such as occupational dermatology, pediatric intensive care units, and neurology in terms of digital communication theories to determine what communication factors affect success. It also examines previous studies concerning current applications of telemedicine in chronic pain management and CBT inside and outside chronic pain management. The non-systematic analysis uses digital communication theories to identify why the treatment technique is transferable across digital media, VMC, to improve chronic pain management. A method blending CBT and VMC may be a solution for minimizing the use of resources that are required to treat chronic pain patients, especially by reducing travel needs for those who cannot travel to pain management specialists.

description: Previous measurements of urban energy balances have been restricted to a small number of cities. This paper presents directly measured energy balance fluxes for suburban areas in four cities within the United States: Tucson, Sacramento, Chicago, and Los Angeles. They represent a range of synoptic regimes and surface morphologies (built and vegetative). Ensemble diurnal patterns and ratios of fluxes for clear, cloudy, and all sky conditions are presented. Consideration is given to both the mean and the variability of the fluxes. As expected, the magnitudes of the fluxes vary between cities; however, in general, the diurnal trends of flux partitioning are similar in terms of the timing of the peaks and changes in sign. Chicago is slightly different due to frequent wetting by rain. In the other cities, it seems that daytime Bowen ratios are inversely related to the area irrigated.

Seasonal Modulation of the Muon Flux Correlated with Atmospheric Temperture
Creators: name: Bangzheng Ma
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2022

description: Many experiments have observed a positive correlation between the flux of underground muons and atmospheric temperature. An increase in atmospheric temperature leads to a decrease in atmospheric density, which in turn makes the interaction between mesons and atmospheric molecules less likely, with more mesons decaying into muons. The Daya Bay Reactor Neutrino Experiment has also observed this phenomenon and has measured the correlation coefficient between the muon flux and effective temperature in three experimental halls with different overburdens using two years of data. With more data available in Daya Bay, a more precise measurement of the correlation coefficient is expected. This poster will report on the current status of this measurement in the Daya Bay Reactor Neutrino Experiment.

Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.

description: Pediatric oncohematological patients frequently require PICU admission during their clinical history. The O-PEWS is a specific score developed to predict the need for PICU admission of oncohematological children. This study aimed at i) describing the trend of the O-PEWS in a cohort of patients hospitalized in the Pediatric Oncohematology ward and transferred to the PICU of Padua University Hospital, measured at different time-points in the 24 hours before PICU admission and to evaluate its association with mortality and presence of organ failure; ii) investigating the association between the recorded O-PEWS, and PIM3, number of organ failure and the need for ventilation, dialysis and inotropes. This retrospective single-center study enrolled oncohematological children admitted to the PICU between 2017 and 2021. The O-PEWS, ranging between 0 and 15, was calculated on the available medical records and the TIPNet-Network database at 24 (T-24), 12 (T-12), 6 (T-6) and 0 (T0) hours before PICU admission. RESULTS: 101 PICU admissions, related to 80 children, were registered. During the 24 hours prior to PICU admission, the O-PEWS progressively increased in all the patients. At T-24 the median O-PEWS was 3 (IQR 1-5), increasing to a median value of 6 (IQR 4-8) at T0. The O-PEWS was positively associated with mortality, organ failure and the need for ventilation at all the analyzed time-points and with the need for dialysis at T-6. The O-PEWS appears as a useful tool for predicting early clinical deterioration in oncohematological patients and for anticipating the initiation of life-support treatments.

description: Microfluidic cooling has been recognized as one of the most promising solutions to achieve efficient thermal management for three-dimensional integrated circuits (3DICs). It enables more opportunities to architect 3DICs with different die configurations. It becomes increasingly important to perform thermal analysis in the early design phases to validate the architectural design decisions. This is even more critical for microfluidic cooling equipped 3DICs as the embedded cooling structures greatly influence the performance, power, and reliability of the stacked system. We exploited the existing architectural simulators and developed a Pre-register-transfer-level (Pre-RTL) thermal simulation methodology named Hot-LEGO that integrates these tools with their latest features such as support for microfluidic cooling and 3DIC stacking configurations. This methodology differs from existing ones by looking into the design granularity at a much finer level which enables the exploration of unique architecture combinations across the vertical stack. Though architectural-level simulators are not designed for signoff-calibre, it offers speed and agility which are imperative for early design space exploration. We claim that this ongoing work will speed up the co-design cycle of microfluidic cooling and offer a portable methodology for architects to perform exhaustive search for the optimal microarchitecture solutions in 3DICs.

Prospects for non-linear memristors as so-far missing core hardware element for transferless data computing and storage

Year: 2024

description: We like and need Information and Communications Technologies (ICT) for data processing. This is measureable in the exponential growth of data processed by ICT, e.g. ICT for cryptocurrency mining and search engines. So far, the energy demand for computing technology has increased by a factor of 1.38 every ten years due to the exponentially increasing use of ICT systems as computing devices. The energy consumption of ICT systems is expected to rise from 1500 TWh (8% of global electricity consumption) in 2010 to 5700 TWh (14% of global electricity consumption) in 2030. A large part of this energy is required for the continuous data transfer between the separated memory and processor units which constitute the main components of ICT computing devices in von-Neumann architecture. This at the same time massively slows down the computing power of ICT systems in the von-Neumann architecture. In addition, due to the increasing complexity of AI compute algorithms, since 2010 the AI training compute time demand for computing technology increases tenfold every year, for example in the period from 2010 to 2020 from 1x10^{-6} to 1x10^{+4} Petaflops/Day. It has been theoretically predicted that ICT systems in the neuromorphic computer architecture will circumvent all of this through the use of merged memory and processor units. However, the core hardware element for this has not yet been realized so far. In this work we discuss the prespectives for non-linear resistive switches as the core hardware element for merged memory and processor units in neuromorphic computers.

description: The lack of toxicity tests using indigenous species in risk assessments of tropical regions has often been discussed. Thus, this study evaluated two tropical oligochaete species (Allonais inaequalis and Dero furcatus) for potential use as test species. To this end, the toxic effects of copper and manganese, both isolated and mixed, were evaluated for both species via acute tests. The test protocol developed by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) for temperate sediment-dwelling benthic oligochaetes could be successfully applied for both test species. The 96-h LC50 values (mean ± standard deviation) for D. furcatus were 31 ± 3 µg L−1 and 18 ± 0.061 mg L−1 for copper and manganese, respectively. The corresponding values for A. inaequalis were 26 ± 1 µg L−1 and 28 ± 0.063 mg L−1, respectively. Compared to the toxicity values for temperate arthropods, D. furcatus and A. inaequalis had comparable or greater sensitivity to the evaluated metals. The mixture toxicity tests indicated a dose ratio-dependent deviation of the concentration addition (CA) model, with antagonism occurring especially if the effects in the mixture were provoked by copper. Overall, these findings indicated that these taxa are sensitive candidates for use in tropical ecotoxicity testing. Future studies can elucidate the mechanisms of chemical mixture toxicity.

description: During the querelle des infiniment petits, Leibniz wrote several texts to justify using Differential calculus among Parisian savants. However, only three were published. Among these publications, ''Sentiment de Monsieur Leibnitz'' had a peculiar destiny. Although we are aware of the manuscript (Gotha FB A 448--449, Bl. 41--42), it is only recently that we have identified a copy of its impression in the British Library catalogue. This copy was printed in 1706 together with writings by other mathematicians united in the defence of the new calculus -- Joseph Saurin, Jacob Hermann and the Bernoulli brothers. Recently published epistolary exchanges indicate that Jean-Paul Bignon, at the time director of the Royal Academy of Sciences, in order to calm down the institution, had prohibited this publication and confiscated the prints.This article examine the epistemological and institutional issues at stake in ''Sentiment de Monsieur Leibnitz''.

description: Research suggests that 25% of gifted children experience social-emotional difficulties, putting them at increased risk of developing a diagnosable mental health concern. Nevertheless, existing programs do not meet the specific needs that put gifted children at a 30% higher risk for mental illness than their non-gifted peers. Armstrong et al. (2018) developed a resiliency program (DREAM) for gifted children, and the goal of this study is to translate it into an online-live hybrid through stakeholder collaboration. Armstrong (2009; 2017; Armstrong et al., 2018) developed a methodology to do this called Knowledge Translation-Integration (KTI), which incorporates stakeholder engagement throughout the entire research to action process. KTI aims to ensure that programs are acceptable, sustainable, feasible, and credible. Through collaboration with parents and school board members, qualitative themes of concerns, recommendations and validation are established, aiding in meaningful online-live translation. Broader implications of this study include critical recommendations for the development of both online-live school programs in general, as well as social-emotional literacy programs for gifted children.

description: The sexual relationship represents a vital ingredient of committed adult romantic relationships. Research has demonstrated that attachment styles and sexual scripts have important implications for sexual communication and sexual satisfaction. The present thesis sought to examine the influence of insecure attachment styles and cultural sexual scripts on sexual communication and satisfaction with the sexual relationship and explore the relationship between each variable. A second objective of the study was to analyze the moderating effects of gender on these relationships. A total of 94 participants were recruited and completed a questionnaire that assessed levels of attachment anxiety and avoidance, adherence to the traditional cultural sexual script, sexual communication satisfaction, and sexual satisfaction. The findings suggest that individuals high in attachment avoidance conformed to the traditional cultural sexual script, exhibited impeded sexual communication and lower levels of sexual satisfaction. Greater adherence to cultural sexual scripts was found to predict sexual satisfaction but did not have an impact on sexual communication. Furthermore, adherence to cultural sexual scripts was not found to mediate the relationship between attachment avoidance and sexual satisfaction. No moderating effects were observed for gender. The clinical implications of these findings and recommendations for further research are discussed.

description: Green fluorescent protein (GFP) fusion tags are commonly used to study protein expression and cellular localization in vivo. But, GFP must undergo an autogenic post-translational modification, known as chromophore maturation, to become fluorescent, a process that can have a half-time longer than 30 minutes inside research model organisms. The timescale of chromophore maturation in GFP is thus slower than many key biological processes, limiting its usefulness in measuring those processes. In this thesis, we discuss the creation and engineering of a sensor for transiently expressed proteins (STEP) based on a fully matured but dim GFP. Upon specific binding of STEPtag, a small (15.5 kDa) protein to the sensor, full fluorescence is restored. Thus, by genetically fusing STEPtag to a protein of interest, it can be detected as soon as folding is complete, without any maturation delay. Through a combination of rational design and targeted directed evolution, we describe the improvement of the original sensor, gSTEP0, into an optimized version, gSTEP1. The sensor has been validated in vitro and in E. coli cells, and we have found that for gSTEP1, the fluorescence signal increases more than three-fold upon binding, with a Kd of 120 ± 30 nM and a kon of 1.7 x 105 M-1s-1, allowing detection of the protein of interest on the second timescale. We have also created a yellow version of the biosensor, and provide preliminary attempts at developing orthogonal binding pairs, as well as red- and cyan-coloured STEPs, which could eventually be used in multiplex experiments. Our biosensor opens the door to the study of short-timescale processes in research model organisms, such as Drosophila and zebrafish embryogenesis, as well as in host-pathogen interactions, which we are currently investigating.

description: Key Findings -Smallholders with liquidity constraints in maize production are 11% less likely to be a net seller of maize. One explanation for this is that liquidity constrained households are less able to adequately invest in productivity enhancing inputs, thus limiting limits their capacity to produce a marketable surplus. -While households without liquidity constraints (UC) have a statistically significant positive response to higher maize prices, liquidity-constrained (LC) households do not respond to changes in maize prices. -A 10% increase in maize production is correlated with a 4% increase in probability of being a net seller for UC households and 3% for LC households. An additional expected moisture stress period during the growing season reduces the probability that a LC household is a net seller by 16%. -LC households are 18% less likely to sell to the FRA, and thereby are less likely to be able to enjoy the benefits of relatively high FRA maize purchase prices.

Dynamical investigation of NinAgm (n + m = 147, 309, 561) nanoalloys with core–shell orderings

description: The structures and dynamical properties of core–shell bimetallic Ni-Ag nanoalloys varying with different sizes and compositions have been studied using Monte Carlo (MC) and Molecular Dynamic (MD) simulations. We have considered the compositions in which the size of the core increases while the total number of atoms is fixed. In this sense, two (Ni13Ag134, Ni55Ag92), three (Ni13Ag296, Ni55Ag254, Ni147Ag162) and four (Ni13Ag548, Ni55Ag506, Ni147Ag414 and Ni309Ag252) compositions were considered for 147, 309 and 561 atoms, respectively. Highly symmetric Mackay icosahedral structures with centred symmetric cores appear for these specific sizes and compositions. Also, smaller Ni atoms tend to occupy the core and Ag atoms prefer to segregate to the surface of the nanoalloy due to its lower surface and cohesive energy. Then, the lowest energy structures obtained by Basin Hopping MC simulations were used as initial configurations for melting simulations. The transitions between different chemical ordering patterns with increasing temperature are possible in these systems while they are still in the solid state. Although there are clear differences in the melting process of the compositions with increasing size of the core, for all cases, surface melting occurs indicating that the Ag shell melts before the inner Ni core.
Relative Efficiencies of Turbulent Transfer of Heat, Mass, and Momentum over a Patchy Urban Surface.

description: This study uses observational data from a suburban site in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, to investigate the relative facility with which heat, water vapor, and momentum are transported by turbulence in the unstable surface layer. The ratios of linear correlation coefficients −rwT/ruw and −rwq/ruw increase approximately linearly with instability and are generally smaller than typical rural values due to bluff-body effects. The ratio rwT/rwq is greatest near neutral and larger than unity at all stabilities. This inequality may be caused by the complex source/sink patterns of the urban surface, cloud effects on the radiative forcing, and the unusually well-developed interaction between the surface and the upper portions of the urban boundary layer. Inequality of transfer between T and q will make it difficult to measure turbulent fluxes for cities using standard gradient approaches. Copyright 1995 American Meteorological Society (AMS).

description: The proton affinity (PA) and gas phase basicity values of previously reported cyclic allene series are investigated using high-level quantum chemical calculations. Some of the studied structures possessed more than one protonation site. All protonation types were explored for each structure and the compounds with PA value more than ≈1030  kJ mol−1 were considered superbasic structures. Cyclic allene's basicity strength was affected by ring size, adjacent heteroatom's presence and resonance existence in protonated form.
