The effects of intracerebroventricular corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF) on the behaviour and cerebral glucose metabolism of non-human primates
Creators: name: Strome, Elissa Marie
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF) is a peptide neurotransmitter involved in the mammalian stress response, and also plays a key role in the mediation of fear and anxiety-like behaviours in animals. In rats, intracerebroventricular (ICV) CRF induces anxiety-like behaviour, and in rhesus monkeys, CRF administration produces distinct behavioural changes, including lying down, huddling, wallfacing and decreased locomotion. In humans, increased activity within CRF neurons has been associated with psychiatric disorders such as anxiety and major depression. The resemblance of the behavioural effects of CRF in monkeys to the symptoms of human depression suggests that this could be a new animal model of depression. This experiment examines the CRF model of depression more closely. CRF (434 pg in artificial cerebrospinal fluid) or vehicle alone were administered ICV over 40 min in a counterbalanced design to six adult rhesus monkeys, with each animal acting as its own control, and behavioural observations were taken. On a separate occasion, nine animals underwent two consecutive positron-emission tomography scans (baseline followed by an activation scan after CRF administration) under light anaesthesia using the tracer analog [18F]fluorodeoxyglucose to determine how the same dose of CRF altered regional cerebral glucose metabolism from baseline. Behaviourally, ICV CRF elicited a wide range of anxiety- and depressive-like behaviours in rhesus monkeys. These included increased passivity, huddling, stypics and decreased locomotion and grooming. In general, anxiety- and depressive-like behaviours increased after CRF, while externally-oriented behaviours decreased. Depressive-like behaviours were most obvious when the animals were in social groups, suggesting that these were a means of communication. Central administration of CRF increased the rate of glucose metabolism in the pituitary, one of its main targets during the stress response. CRF also increased the glucose metabolic rate in the amygdala, a key limbic region underlying anxious and fearful behaviour. The results of this study suggest that increased cerebral CRF tone specifically affects behaviour and cerebral glucose metabolism in limbic brain regions of rhesus monkeys. Because CRF can elicit depressive-like behaviour in monkeys and alter the function of brain regions implicated in depression, CRF antagonists may be an effective treatment for major depression in humans.

description: We present a general derivation of Hess-Fairbank effect or non-classical rotational inertial (NCRI), i.e. the refusal to rotate with its container, as well as the quantization of angular momentum, as consequences of off-diagonal long-range order (ODLRO) in an interacting Bose system. Afterwards, the path integral formulation of superfluid density is re-derived without ignoring the centrifugal potential. Finally and in particular, for a class of variational wavefunctions used for solid helium, treating the constraint of single-valuedness boundary condition carefully, we show that there is no ODLRO and, especially, demonstrate explicitly that NCRI cannot be possessed in absence of defects, even though there exist zero-point motion and exchange effect.

description: Multiple regression estimates of demand and price relationships for fresh beef, lamb and mutton in the N.S.W. livestock auction, wholesale, and retail markets during the period from January 1951 to June 1963 are presented. The results show that direct price elasticities of demand were negative, and of greatest absolute value in the retail market. Mutton is shown to have been a close substitute for beef and lamb, but the latter were not close substitutes with respect to price.

Energy-momentum density and pressure relations for a relativistic ideal gas with a bulk motion
Creators: name: Singal, Ashok K.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2020
Subjects: subject: General Physics (physics.gen-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We derive here, from first principles, the energy-momentum densities of a perfect fluid, in the form of an ideal molecular gas, in an inertial frame where the fluid possesses a bulk motion. We begin from the simple expressions for the energy density and pressure of a perfect fluid in the rest frame of the fluid, where the fluid constituents (gas molecules) may possess a random motion, but no bulk motion. From a Lorentz transformation of the velocity vectors of molecules, moving along different directions in the rest frame of the fluid, we compute their energy-momentum vectors and number densities in an inertial frame moving with respect to the rest frame of the liquid. From that we arrive at the energy-momentum density of the fluid in a frame where it has a bulk motion. This way we explicitly demonstrate how a couple of curious pressure-dependent terms make appearance in the energy-momentum density of a perfect fluid having a bulk motion. In addition to an ideal molecular gas, we compute the energy-momentum density for a photon gas also, which of course matches with the energy-momentum density expression obtained for a molecular gas having ultra-relativistic random motion.

Theory of Recurrent Neural Network with Common Synaptic Inputs

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2005
Subjects: subject: Disordered Systems and Neural Networks (cond-mat.dis-nn)

description: We discuss the effects of common synaptic inputs in a recurrent neural network. Because of the effects of these common synaptic inputs, the correlation between neural inputs cannot be ignored, and thus the network exhibits sample dependence. Networks of this type do not have well-defined thermodynamic limits, and self-averaging breaks down. We therefore need to develop a suitable theory without relying on these common properties. While the effects of the common synaptic inputs have been analyzed in layered neural networks, it was apparently difficult to analyze these effects in recurrent neural networks due to feedback connections. We investigated a sequential associative memory model as an example of recurrent networks and succeeded in deriving a macroscopic dynamical description as a recurrence relation form of a probability density function.

Αυτές έγιναν εφικτές μέσω του πρωτοποριακού πρωτοκόλλου, WebRTC, που διεύρυνε τους ορίζοντες των κατασκευαστών περιηγητών ιστού, εφόσον δεν υπήρχε μέχρι πρότινος. Επιπλέον, τα τελευταία χρόνια έχει αυξηθεί το ενδιαφέρον για τις εφαρμογές μηχανικής μάθησης και έχουν γίνει άλματα όσον αφορά την τεχνολογία και τις εφαρμογές της. Με την εξέλιξή τους, νέες ιδέες και υλοποιήσεις προτάσσονται για να βρεθεί τι είναι εφικτό και ποια είναι τα όρια τους. Στην παρούσα διπλωματική εργασία, μελετήθηκε και αναπτύχθηκε η δημιουργία Συνελικτικών Νευρωνικών Δικτύων, η χρησιμοποίηση έτοιμων προ-εκπαιδευμένων μοντέλων και η εφαρμογή τους πάνω στον κεντρικό πυρήνα, τις βιντεοδιασκέψεις.

Για αυτό τον σκοπό μέσα από την έρευνα που έγινε, χρησιμοποιήθηκαν εργαλεία όπως το OpenVidu, για την διαχείριση των χρηστών και των βιντεοδιασκέψεων, OpenCV για την αναγνώριση προσώπων στα βίντεο και TensorFlow, Caffe για την αναγνώριση συναισθημάτων. Η υλοποίηση έγινε κυρίως σε γλώσσα προγραμματισμού Javascript, με την χρήση της βιβλιοθήκης React, την γλώσσα προγραμματισμού Python για την εκπαίδευση των μοντέλων μηχανικής μάθησης και την ανάλυση τους σε ζωντανό χρόνο. Επιπλέον, έγιναν πειράματα σε διαφορετικές συσκευές για την εύρεση της διεκπεραιωτικότητας και τις ανάγκες της εφαρμογής, καθώς και διαφορετικές τοπολογίες και τρόπους λειτουργίας, για την ενσωμάτωσή της σε μελλοντικά σενάρια, όπως σε κατανεμημένα συστήματα και νεφοϋπολογιστική.

Subjects: subject: 330 Economics

description: As an international effort to improve practices worldwide, the Strategic Approach to International Chemicals Management (SAICM) is an overarching policy framework intended to complement existing agreements within the global chemicals sector by serving as a platform for the engagement of a wide variety of stakeholders. This work identifies SAICM as a transnational public-private partnership (TPPP), conceptualizing it as part of a wider movement within international environmental governance. The paper proceeds to analyze SAICM utilizing a theory-testing process tracing method to test whether the prevailing theories on the effectiveness of such partnerships are supported in the case of SAICM. In doing so, the researcher offers valuable insight into the strengths and limitations of the TPPP approach in the chemicals sector, which can be of use for stakeholders involved in the negotiations to be held for an agreement on a new SAICM.
On the spin-up events and spin direction of the X-ray pulsar GX 301-2
Creators: name: Liu, Jiren

Year: 2020
Subjects: subject: High Energy Astrophysical Phenomena (astro-ph.HE)

description: Recently a retrograde neutron star is proposed for the classical wind-fed X-ray pulsar, GX 301-2, to explain the orbital spin-up to spin-down reversal near periastron, based on the stream model invoked to explain the pre-periastron flare of GX 301-2 previously. We study in detail three rare spin-up events detected by Fermi/GBM and find that the spin derivatives are correlated with the Swift/BAT fluxes, following a relation of $\dotν\propto F^{0.75\pm0.05}$. All the spin-up events of GX 301-2 started about 10 days after the periastron, which is the time needed for tidally stripped gas to reach the neutron star. The slow rotation of the optical companion implies that the accreted matter is likely to have angular momentum in the direction of the orbital motion, as in a Roche-Lobe-like overflow. As a result, the spin-up events of GX 301-2 would favor accretion of a prograde disk to a prograde neutron star. We also find that the flare of intrinsic X-ray emission of GX 301-2 happened 0.4 days before periastron, while the flare of low energy emission (2-10 keV) happened about 1.4 days before periastron. The preceding low energy flare can be explained by stronger absorption of the intrinsic X-ray emission closer to the periastron. This finding weakened the need of the stream model. The pulse fraction of GX 301-2 near periastron is reduced heavily, which is likely caused by Compton scattering process. Compton reflection from the optical companion might be responsible for the observed orbital spin reversal of GX 301-2.

description: Economic-engineering cost data and a simulation model were used to analyze the impact of sales density, size of sales area, sales volume, and equipment configuration on costs of bulk fuel delivery by cooperatives. Fixed costs accounted for the majority of delivery costs regardless of sales density or size of sales area, at least for the relevant range of these variables for North Dakota. Increasing the radius of a sales area from 5 to 50 miles increased average costs only $.02 to $.09/gal. Doubling sales by either doubling the size of the sales area or the sales density reduced average total costs by nearly 50%. Thus, cooperatives with excess delivery capacity could achieve significant savings if they consolidate to operate closer to the capacity of delivery equipment. Small storage facilities (say 50,000 gal.) place little or no restriction on operations because deliveries from bulk fuel terminals are reliable and on a timely basis. Therefore, the economic rationale for building larger storage facilities would include speculation on price changes and as a response to future expectations rather than current operating requirements. The impact of the size of load-out pipes (2" or 3") and delivery trucks (2,000 or 4,000 gal.) is significant in some instances. The larger load-out pipes are most economical for high sales densities. Larger trucks have a comparative advantage in large sales areas with lower sales densities.

Our analysis employs the recent results obtained for the extended double-Kerr solution and for thermodynamics of the static single and binary black holes. We show that, similar to the electrostatic case, in the stationary binary systems the thermodynamic length $\ell$ is defined by the formula $\ell=L\exp(γ_0)$, where $L$ is the coordinate length of the strut, and $γ_0$ is the value of the metric function $γ$ on the strut.

We derive asymptotic expressions for the decay rate near the critical current in two regimes, deep in the superfluid phase and close to the superfluid-Mott insulator transition. The broadening of the transition at the critical current due to these decay mechanisms is more pronounced at lower dimensions. We also find that the crossover temperature below which quantum decay dominates is experimentally accessible in most cases. Finally, we discuss the dynamics of the current decay and point out the difference between low and high currents.

Nine states and three wheat classes are included in the analysis, which considers the effects of scab on both production and average prices received. The cumulative value of losses (1991-97) in scab-affected regions is estimated at $1.3 billion. Two states, North Dakota and Minnesota, account for over two-thirds of these dollar losses.

description: We study splitting densities of primitive elements of a discrete subgroup of a connected non-compact semisimple Lie group of real rank one with finite center in another larger such discrete subgroup. When the corresponding cover of such a locally symmetric negatively curved Riemannian manifold is regular, the densities can be easily obtained from the results due to Sarnak or Sunada. Our main interest is a case where the covering is not necessarily regular. Specifically, for the cases of the modular group and its congruence subgroups, we determine the splitting densities explicitly. As an application, we study analytic properties of the zeta function defined by the Euler product over elements consisting all primitive elements which satisfy a certain splitting law for a given lifting.

Priors for Bayesian Neural Networks
Creators: name: Robinson, Mark
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: In recent years, Neural Networks (NN) have become a popular data-analytic tool in Statistics, Computer Science and many other fields. NNs can be used as universal approximators, that is, a tool for regressing a dependent variable on a possibly complicated function of the explanatory variables. The NN parameters, unfortunately, are notoriously hard to interpret. Under the Bayesian view, we propose and discuss prior distributions for some of the network parameters which encourage parsimony and reduce overfit, by eliminating redundancy, promoting orthogonality, linearity or additivity. Thus we consider more senses of parsimony than are discussed in the existing literature. We investigate the predictive performance of networks fit under these various priors. The Deviance Information Criterion (DIC) is briefly explored as a model selection criterion.

Thus we show that these coefficient modules can be regarded as ``flat bundles'' in the sense of Connes' noncommutative differential geometry.

description: There has been an upsurge in the discovery of topological quantum materials, where various topological insulators and semimetals have been theoretically predicted and experimentally observed. However, only very few of them contains silicon, the most widely used element in electronic industry. Recently, ternary compound CaAl2Si2 has been predicted to be a topological Dirac semimetal, hosting Lorentz-symmetry-violating quasiparticles with a strongly tilted conical band dispersion. In this work, by using high-resolution angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES), we investigated the comprehensive electronic structure of CaAl2Si2. A pair of topological Dirac crossings is observed along the kz direction, in good agreement with the ab initio calculations, confirming the topological Dirac semimetal nature of the compound. Our study expands the topological material family on Si-containing compounds, which have great application potential in realizing low-cost, nontoxic electronic device with topological quantum states.

description: The number of public high school districts in North Dakota declined from 256 in 1970 to 186 in 1994. Thirty-one percent of the decline in number of districts occurred from 1990 to 1994. Eight communities (four pairs) that had gone through a school district consolidation and school closure during the last five years were studied. This paper presents the results of a mail survey of patrons who paid property taxes to the eight different school districts. Host communities were defined as those gaining the majority of the students from the consolidation while vacated communities' schools were closed. Community involvement, retail services, quality of life, and consolidation impacts for host and vacated communities were compared.

Resource /Energy Economics and Policy

description: Rural areas in the western United States have experienced enormous social and economic changes due to the development of nearby energy resources. Since the late 1970s, such effects have been quite noticeable in western North Dakota, an area richly endowed in lignite coal and petroleum reserves. This study was undertaken to assess the socioeconomic effects of rapid petroleum development in rural areas. Since the social and economic changes associated with energy resource developments depend in large measure on the nature of the work force, this report analyzes the characteristics of the petroleum industry's work force in North Dakota's Williston Basin.

description: Time series data of celestial objects are commonly used to study valuable and unexpected objects such as extrasolar planets and supernova in time domain astronomy. Due to the rapid growth of data volume, traditional manual methods are becoming extremely hard and infeasible for continuously analyzing accumulated observation data. To meet such demands, we designed and implemented a special tool named AstroCatR that can efficiently and flexibly reconstruct time series data from large-scale astronomical catalogues. AstroCatR can load original catalogue data from Flexible Image Transport System (FITS) files or databases, match each item to determine which object it belongs to, and finally produce time series datasets. To support the high-performance parallel processing of large-scale datasets, AstroCatR uses the extract-transform-load (ETL) preprocessing module to create sky zone files and balance the workload. The matching module uses the overlapped indexing method and an in-memory reference table to improve accuracy and performance. The output of AstroCatR can be stored in CSV files or be transformed other into formats as needed. Simultaneously, the module-based software architecture ensures the flexibility and scalability of AstroCatR. We evaluated AstroCatR with actual observation data from The three Antarctic Survey Telescopes (AST3). The experiments demonstrate that AstroCatR can efficiently and flexibly reconstruct all time series data by setting relevant parameters and configuration files. Furthermore, the tool is approximately 3X faster than methods using relational database management systems at matching massive catalogues.

description: In the ballistic regime, the metallic temperature dependence of the conductivity in a two-dimensional electron system in silicon is found to change non-monotonically with the degree of spin polarization. In particular, it fades away just before the onset of complete spin polarization but reappears again in the fully spin-polarized state, being, however, suppressed relative to the zero-field case. Analysis of the degree of the suppression allows one to distinguish between the screening and the interaction-based theories.

description: Access, reuse and integration of biomedical datasets is critical to advance genomics research and realise benefits to human health. However, obtaining human controlled-access data in a timely fashion can be challenging, as neither the access requests nor the data uses conditions are standardised: their manual review and evaluation by a Data Access Committee (DAC) to determine whether access should be granted or not can significantly delay the process, typically by at least 4 to 6 weeks once the dataset of interest has been identified.  To address this, we have contributed to the development of the Data Use Ontology (DUO), which was approved as a Global Alliance for Genomics and Health (GA4GH) standard and has been used in over 200,000 annotations worldwide. DUO is a machine readable structured vocabulary that contains "Permission terms" (which describe data use permissions) and "Modifier terms" (which describe data use requirements, limitations or prohibitions) and it has already been implemented in some CINECA cohort and cohort data sharing resources (e.g. EGA, H3Africa, synthetic datasets); additional cohorts are in the process of reviewing data access policies with a view of applying DUO terms to their datasets.

description: We present the study of one year of INTEGRAL data on the neutron star low mass X-ray binary GX 5-1. Thanks to the excellent angular resolution and sensitivity of INTEGRAL, we are able to obtain a high quality spectrum of GX 5-1 from ~5 keV to ~100 keV, for the first time without contamination from the nearby black hole candidate GRS 1758-258 above 20 keV. During our observations, GX 5-1 is mostly found in the horizontal and normal branch of its hardness intensity diagram. A clear hard X-ray emission is observed above ~30 keV which exceeds the exponential cut-off spectrum expected from lower energies. This spectral flattening may have the same origin of the hard components observed in other Z sources as it shares the property of being characteristic to the horizontal branch. The hard excess is explained by introducing Compton up-scattering of soft photons from the neutron star surface due to a thin hot plasma expected in the boundary layer. The spectral changes of GX 5-1 downward along the "Z" pattern in the hardness intensity diagram can be well described in terms of monotonical decrease of the neutron star surface temperature. This may be a consequence of the gradual expansion of the boundary layer as the mass accretion rate increases.

Substantially enhanced deuteron-triton fusion probabilities in intense low-frequency laser fields

description: Deuteron-triton (DT) fusion is the primary fusion reaction used in controlled fusion research, mainly for its relatively high reaction cross sections compared to other fusion options. Even so, to attain appreciable reaction probabilities very high temperatures (on the order of 10-100 million kelvins) are required, which are extremely challenging to achieve and maintain. We show that intense low-frequency laser fields, such as those in the near-infrared regime for the majority of intense laser facilities around the world, are highly effective in transferring energy to the DT system and enhancing the DT fusion probabilities. The fusion probabilities are shown to be enhanced by at least an order of magnitude in 800-nm laser fields with intensities on the order of 10$^{21}$ W/cm$^2$. The demanding temperature requirement of controlled nuclear fusion may be relaxed if intense low-frequency lasers are exploited.

description: Sh 2-188 is an example of strong interaction between a planetary nebula (PN) and the interstellar medium (ISM). Its structure is postulated to be the result of motion through the ISM. We present new H$α$ images from the Isaac Newton Telescope Photometric H$α$ Survey of the Northern Galactic Plane which reveal new structure. The nebula extends 15 arcmin on the sky in total. We have developed a `triple-wind' hydrodynamical model, comprising of the initial `slow' asymptotic giant branch (AGB) wind and the later `fast' stellar wind plus a third wind reflecting the motion through the ISM. Simulations at various velocities of the central star relative to the ISM indicate that a high velocity of 125 kms is required to reproduce the observed structure. We find most of the structure already forms during the AGB phase. The closure of the ring arises from the slow--fast wind interaction. Most of the mass lost on the AGB has been swept downstream, providing a potential explanation of the missing mass problem in PNe. We report a proper motion for the central star of 30 mas yr^-1 in the direction of the bright limb, implying a distance to the nebula of 850^{+500}_{-420} pc, consistent with a spectroscopic distances. Expansion velocities measured from spectroscopic data are consistent with velocities measured from the simulation. The model shows that the size of the PN was already set during the AGB phase.

description: This study applies a Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) approach to analyze total factor productivity, technology, and efficiency changes in Chinese agricultural production from 1984 to 1993. Twenty- nine provinces in China were classified into advanced-technology and low-technology categories. The Malmquist productivity measures were decomposed into two components: technical change index and efficiency change index. The results showed that total factor productivity has risen in most provinces for both technology categories. Technical progress has been the most important factor to Chinese agricultural productivity growth since 1984 and will remain crucial to productivity growth in low-technology provinces. Low efficiency in many important agricultural provinces indicates a great potential for China to increase productivity through improving technical efficiency. Continuously expanding market economy and enhancing rural education may also help farmers to improve technical efficiency and productivity in agricultural production.

Neutralino Dark Matter in mSUGRA: reopening the light Higgs pole window

description: The requirement that the lightest neutralino $\tildeχ_1^0$ has the right thermal relic density to explain all Dark Matter in the universe strongly constrains the parameter space of supersymmetric models in general, and of the mSUGRA model in particular. Recently improved calculations of the mass of the light CP-even Higgs boson $h$ present in this model, and the increased central value of the mass of the top quark, have re--opened the possibility that $2 \mlsp \lsim m_h$. In this ``$h-$pole region'' the LSP annihilation cross section is enhanced by near-resonant $h$ exchange in the $s-$channel, reducing the relic density to acceptable values. We delineate the corresponding region of mSUGRA parameter space, and explore its phenomenology. In particular, we find strong upper bounds on the masses of the gluino, lighter chargino and LSP.

Exact relations between Rayleigh-Bénard and rotating plane Couette flow in 2D

description: Rayleigh-Bénard convection (RBC) and Taylor-Couette Flow (TCF) are two paradigmatic fluid dynamical systems frequently discussed together because of their many similarities despite their different geometries and forcing. Often these analogies require approximations, but in the limit of large radii where TCF becomes rotating plane Couette flow (RPC) exact relations can be established. When the flows are restricted to two spatial degrees of freedom there is an exact specification that maps the three velocity components in RPC to the two velocity components and one temperature field in RBC. Using this, we deduce several relations between both flows: (i) The Rayleigh number $Ra$ in convection and the Reynolds $Re$ and rotation $R_Ω$ number in RPC flow are related by $Ra= Re^2 R_Ω(1-R_Ω)$. (ii) Heat and angular momentum transport differ by $(1-R_Ω)$, explaining why angular momentum transport is not symmetric around $R_Ω=1/2$ even though the relation between $Ra$ and $R_Ω$ has this symmetry. This relationship leads to a predicted value of $R_Ω$ that maximizes the angular momentum transport that agrees remarkably well with existing numerical simulations of the full 3D system. (iii) One variable in both flows satisfy a maximum principle i.e., the fields' extrema occur at the walls. Accordingly, backflow events in shear flow \emph{cannot} occur in this two-dimensional setting. (iv) For free slip boundary conditions on the axial and radial velocity components, previous rigorous analysis for RBC implies that the azimuthal momentum transport in RPC is bounded from above by $Re^{5/6}$ with a scaling exponent smaller than the anticipated $Re^1$.
