description: In this letter we introduce a novel way to spontaneously localize particles (including gauge bosons) and gravitons kinetic terms on a four-dimensional brane via a gravitational mechanism. The model underlying this localization mechanism can be considered as a high-energy resolution of the so-called braneworlds scenario. In particular, we show how to construct a braneworld with induced gravity without pathologies. Finally, we argue that the brane is only stable if its own mass does not exceed a critical value related to the particles-gravity couplings.

description: Slow-fast dynamical systems have two time scales and an explicit parameter representing the ratio of these time scales. Locally invariant slow manifolds along which motion occurs on the slow time scale are a prominent feature of slow-fast systems. This paper introduces a rigorous numerical method to compute enclosures of the slow manifold of a slow-fast system with one fast and two slow variables. A triangulated first order approximation to the two dimensional invariant manifold is computed "algebraically". Two translations of the computed manifold in the fast direction that are transverse to the vector field are computed as the boundaries of an initial enclosure. The enclosures are refined to bring them closer to each other by moving vertices of the enclosure boundaries one at a time. As an application we use it to prove the existence of tangencies of invariant manifolds in the problem of singular Hopf bifurcation and to give bounds on the location of one such tangency.

description: Background: The COVID‐19 pandemic exposed a substantial portion of society to multiple stressors, while access to mental health care was limited. To address this, we introduced a digital stepped‐care program rooted in cognitive–behavioral therapy (CBT) principles, aiming to alleviate mental health distress among the general public seeking help. Methods: The program comprises a 4‐week digital application using “Aury” the chatbot, followed by an optional 6‐week online group session for those still symptomatic. A 4‐week waiting period separated these steps. Participants entered based on self‐identified mental health concerns. Interventions addressed prevalent pandemic mental health issues: sleep disturbances, anxiety, depression, worry/rumination, interpersonal issues, and resource mobilization. Outcomes focused on depressive, anxiety, and somatic symptoms, assessed by the Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ). Results: Of the 1261 initial participants, postchatbot results ( N  = 142) indicated small to medium effects ( d  = 0.412 to d  = 0.523). Those finishing the entire program ( N  = 41) saw substantial symptom decline with medium to large effects ( d  = 0.757 to d  = 0.818). No shifts were seen in the waiting phase. At follow‐up 6 months after baseline, both groups—those who only used the chatbot ( N  = 60; d  = 0.284 to d  = 0.416) and those who completed the entire program ( N  = 27; d  = 0.854 to d  = 0.926)—showed sustained symptom reduction. Comparing groups that received no intervention, used the chatbot only, and completed the entire program, we observed a dose–response effect. Conclusions: This resource‐efficient and adaptable digital approach effectively reduced pandemic‐induced mental health issues, indicating its potential in crisis periods with limited health resources. Randomized controlled trials are recommended for further validation. Trial Registration: Clinical Trial Registry identifier: DRKS00023220 .

description: We perform first-principles calculations of electron transport across a nickel-graphene interface. Four different geometries are considered, where the contact area, graphene and nickel surface orientations and the passivation of the terminating graphene edge are varied. We find covalent bond formation between the graphene layer and the nickel surface, in agreement with other theoretical studies. We calculate the energy-dependent electron transmission for the four systems and find that the systems have very similar edge contact resistance, independent of the contact area between nickel and graphene, and in excellent agreement with recent experimental data. A simple model where graphene is bonded with a metal surface shows that the results are generic for covalently bonded graphene, and the minimum attainable edge contact resistance is twice the ideal edge quantum contact resistance of graphene.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.We present a model—SEAPODYM—describing basin-scale tuna population dynamics driven by environmental variables. Biochemical and physical variables as well as prey fields are used to predict the biomass of an age-structured population. Main dynamical processes such as spawning, recruitment, seasonal, and feeding migrations and natural mortality are explicitly accounted for in the Eulerian framework. To address the parameter estimation problem, we use an adjoint technique and perform an optimization of a likelihood function constructed from spatially distributed catch and length frequency data. The model has been applied to describe the dynamics of four tuna species in the Pacific ocean. Here we focus on the application to skipjack tuna (Katsuwonus pelamis) that was carried out using several environmental forcings, provided by coupled ocean–biogeochemical models at a resolution of 2°x 1 month. For each model configuration, a number of computer experiments was conducted in order to estimate observable parameters and to obtain the best fit between the data, both spatially and temporally. Our study shows that the model is highly sensitive to the environmental variables and, therefore, that the data assimilation resulted in different sets of model parameter estimates. However, predicted distributions of larval, young, and adult skipjack are similar, the species habitat and the movement patterns are consistent with the results of tagging studies. Temporal dynamics is characterized by a decrease in the skipjack stock that started in the late 1970s. This is mainly the consequence of a decreasing trend in primary production predicted by coupled ocean models.

description: The generation of monochromatic electromagnetic radiation in the terahertz (THz) frequency range has remained a challenging task for many decades. Here, the emission of monochromatic sub‐THz radiation by optical phonons in the dielectric material KY(MoO4)2 is demonstrated. The layered crystal structure of KY(MoO4)2 causes infrared‐active shear lattice vibrations to have energies below 3.7 meV, corresponding to frequencies lower than 900 GHz where solid‐state‐based monochromatic radiation sources are rare. Directly excited by a 5 ps long broadband THz pulse, infrared‐active optical vibrations in KY(MoO4)2 re‐emit narrowband sub‐THz radiation as a time‐varying dipole for tens of picoseconds, which is exceptionally long for oscillators with frequencies below 1 THz. Such a long coherent emission allows for the detection of more than 50 periods of radiation with frequencies of 568 and 860 GHz. The remarkably long decay time together with the chemical stability of the employed material suggests a variety of possible applications in THz technology.

description: We consider what is the best way to extract science from large surveys of the Milky Way galaxy. The diversity of data gathered in these surveys, together with our position within the Galaxy, imply that science must be extracted by fitting dynamical models to the data in the space of the observables. Models based on orbital tori promise to be superior for this task than traditional types of models, such as N-body models and Schwarzschild models. A formalism that allows such models to be fitted to data is developed and tested on pseudodata of varying richness.

The Selection of Clausula Sources for Thirteenth- Century Motets: Some Practical Considerations and Aesthetic Implications
Creators: name: Kidwell, Susan A.
Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 1998
Subjects: Music

description: In addressing questions of compositional process, scholars of medieval polyphony have relatively little on which to build. They cannot gain insight from reading explicit written testimonies by medieval composers; nor can they look to evidence such as sketches, drafts, or revisions for guidance. Instead, they can only study theoretical accounts of how to compose good discant and examine the surviving pieces themselves to increase their understanding of medieval compositional process. Of all the surviving types of medieval music, the early Latin motet offers perhaps the best opportunity to explore aspects of compositional process, for the vast majority of early Latin motets were created in several observable stages. In brief, I shall identify factors that may have attracted medieval "composers" to select certain types of clausula models for early Latin motets. I shall then consider the extent to which their criteria for selection apply to other segments of the thirteenth-century motet repertory. As I will show, the initial selection criteria not only reflected practical considerations, but also had long-range aesthetic implications for the stylistic development of the medieval motet.

Introductory economics courses and the university’s commitments to sustainability
Creators: name: Green, Thomas Leslie
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2012

description: The three largest public universities in British Columbia, Canada have signed the Talloires Declaration, committing themselves to promoting students’ environmental literacy and ecological citizenship. As a result, there is pressure to integrate sustainability across the curriculum. Using a case study approach involving these three universities and qualitative research methods, this dissertation explores the potential implications of sustainability commitments for principles of economics curriculum, drawing on a theoretical framework grounded in ecological economics and other literatures. About 40% of North American university students take a principles of economics course; relatively few go on to take more advanced economics courses. As such, this course is an important vehicle for many students to learn economic theory and the economics profession’s approach to evaluating public policy, and it has the potential to substantially contribute to the knowledge and tools that students can mobilize to foster sustainability. To examine how sustainability commitments play out in the classroom, this study relied on content analysis of nine principles of economics textbooks and 74 interviews from three populations at the three universities. The first group consisted of 54 students who had recently completed an introductory economics course. The second comprised 11 economists who deliver the course. The third involved nine professors who teach undergraduates in programs that explicitly focus on sustainability and require that students take introductory economics. Findings suggest that universities’ sustainability commitments have yet to influence principles of economics curriculum and that the curriculum does not support these commitments. The textbooks and courses appear to do little to prepare students to understand sustainability issues or potential limits to growth. Sustainability is not salient to lecturers, and disciplinary culture limits prospects that mainstream economics departments will integrate sustainability into curriculum. In part, this inertia may exist because addressing sustainability has the potential to create problems of plausibility and coherence for mainstream economic theory. Recommendations are offered for reflecting sustainability commitments in economics curriculum, but it is unclear whether economics departments are interested in, or have the capacity to deliver, such a course.

description: As climatic extremity intensifies, a fundamental rethink is needed to promote the sustainable use of freshwater resources. Both floods and droughts, including water scarcity, are exacerbating declines in river biodiversity and ecosystem services, with consequences for both people and nature. Although this is a global challenge, densely populated regions such as Europe, East Asia and North‐America, as well as the regions most affected by climate change, are particularly vulnerable. To date mitigation measures have mainly focused on individual, local‐scale targets, often neglecting hydrological connectivity within catchments and interactions among hydrology, biodiversity, climate change and human wellbeing. A comprehensive approach is needed to improve water infiltration, retention and groundwater recharge, thereby mitigating the impacts of heavy rainfall and floods as well as droughts and water scarcity. We propose a holistic catchment‐scale framework that combines mitigation measures including conventional civil engineering methods, nature‐based solutions and biodiversity conservation actions. This framework integrates legislation, substantial funding and a governance structure that transcends administrative and discipline boundaries, enabling coordinated actions across multiple spatial and temporal scales. It necessitates the collaboration of local and regional stakeholders including citizens, scientists and practitioners. A holistic vision for the sustainable management of freshwater resources could have synergistic effects that support biodiversity and mitigate climate change within functional ecosystems that deliver benefits to people.

description: We report a study on the optical dipole force in a ladder like three level atomic systems in the context of coherent population transfer with the chirped few-cycle-pulse laser fields. The phenomenon of coherent population transfer is investigated by numerically solving the appropriate density matrix equations beyond the rotating wave approximation. On the other hand, optical dipole force is calculated by numerically solving the force equation and density matrix equations self-consistently. By analysing the centre-of-mass motion, it is shown that the optical dipole force with chirped pulses may be used for focusing and defocusing of atoms in an atomic beam similar to the near or non-resonant optical dipole force. Moreover, the robustness of the population transfer against the variation of the pulse parameters and the effect of the variation of the Rabi frequencies and the chirp rates on the optical dipole force are also investigated. The proposed scheme may open new perspectives in the focusing and de-focusing of atoms and molecules in an atomic beam, since this scheme mitigates the demand for the generation of transform-limited pulse laser fields at arbitrary frequencies.

Diagnosis — Eyes absent, venter with distinctive longitudinal ridges. Description — Female: Idiosoma brown coloured, dorsally 489 long and 373 wide, ventrally 467 long; eyes absent. Dorsal shield fused anteriorly with ventral shield, 373 wide; excretory pore fused with dorsal shield. Dorsal shield with A2, postocularia and four pairs of glandularia; due to rugosity of integument associated setae of dorsoglandularia not visible. Body pores of integument arranged in a rounded pattern in anterior part of dorsal shield; anterior part of dorsum with two pairs of large lateral papillae. Anterior coxae not extending to anterior idiosoma margin. Coxal suture lines obliterated. Apodemes of gnathosoma very long. Anterior to the fourth leg sockets a ridge extending to the lateral idiosoma margin. Venter with numerous distinctive longitudinal ridges.

description: A BRET system is described, in which Nanoluciferase was fused to the lipid transfer protein CERT for efficient energy transfer to a Nile red‐labeled ceramide, which is either directly bound to CERT or transported to the adjacent Golgi membrane. Bulk formation of sphingomyelin, a major plasma membrane component in mammals, is dependent on CERT‐mediated transfer of its predecessor ceramide. CERT is considered a promising drug target but no direct cell‐based methods exist to efficiently identify inhibitors. The utility of the method was demonstrated by a library of 140 derivatives of the CERT inhibitor HPA‐12. These were obtained in a combinatorial synthesis using solid‐phase transacylation. Screening of the library led to six compounds that were picked and confirmed to be superior to HPA‐12 in a subsequent dose‐response study and also in an orthogonal lipidomics analysis.

description: We model the dynamics of magnetization in an artificial analog of spin ice specializing to the case of a honeycomb network of connected magnetic nanowires. The inherently dissipative dynamics is mediated by the emission, propagation and absorption of domain walls in the links of the lattice. These domain walls carry two natural units of magnetic charge, whereas sites of the lattice contain a unit magnetic charge. Magnetostatic Coulomb forces between these charges play a major role in the physics of the system, as does quenched disorder caused by imperfections of the lattice. We identify and describe different regimes of magnetization reversal in an applied magnetic field determined by the orientation of the applied field with respect to the initial magnetization. One of the regimes is characterized by magnetic avalanches with a 1/n distribution of lengths.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.Disentangling the processes that take place in the early life stages of fish is crucial to achieving sustainable management of fish stocks under possible climate change effects. This study examines the influence of food availability and patchy distribution of the planktonic prey on the growth and survival of lesser sandeel (Ammodytes marinus) larvae in the North Sea. A generic bioenergetic individual-based model (IBM) for larval fish is developed and adapted for this purpose. The input food conditions are described by the prey field formed by modelling the patch and prey size-spectrum dynamics using transect sampling data, a basic zooplankton matrix model and continuous plankton recorder (CPR) survey time-series data. The results analyse the importance of patchiness of zooplankton abundance at the near-surface waters because intensive aggregations of zooplankton abundance have been recognized as important, especially for the larval and juvenile fish as they need to encounter food at greater than average concentrations for sufficient survival.

description: We present a study of the physical properties of the vibrational excitation in $α$--helicoidal macromolecular chains, caused by the interaction with acoustical and optical phonon modes. The influence of the temperature and the basic system parameters on the vibron dressing has been analyzed by employing the simple mean--field approach based on the variational extension of the Lang--Firsov unitary transformation. Applied approach predicts a region in system parameter space where one takes place an abrupt transition from partially dressed (light and mobile) to fully dressed (immobile) vibron states. We found that the boundary of this region depends on system temperature and type of bond among structural elements in the macromolecular chain.

description: Recent advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) have highlighted the critical need for energy‐efficient hardware solutions, especially in edge‐computing applications. However, traditional AI approaches are plagued by significant power consumption. In response, researchers have turned to biomimetic strategies, drawing inspiration from the ion‐mediated operating principle of biological synapses, to develop organic neuromorphic devices as promising alternatives. Organic mixed ionic‐electronic conductor (OMIEC) materials have emerged as particularly noteworthy in this field, due to their potential for enhancing neuromorphic computing capabilities. Together with device performance, it is crucial to select devices that allow fabrication via scalable techniques. This study investigates the fabrication of OMIEC‐based neuromorphic devices using inkjet printing, providing a scalable and material‐efficient approach. Employing a commercially available polymer mixed ionic‐electronic conductor (BTEM‐PPV) and a lithium salt, inkjet‐printed devices exhibit performance comparable to those fabricated via traditional spin‐coating methods. These two‐terminal neuromorphic devices demonstrate functionality analogous to literature‐known devices and demonstrate promising frequency‐dependent short‐term plasticity. Furthermore, comparative studies with previous light‐emitting electrochemical cells (LECs) and neuromorphic OMIEC devices validate the efficacy of inkjet printing as a potential fabrication technique. The findings suggest that inkjet printing is suitable for large‐scale production, offering reproducible and stable fabrication processes. By adopting the OMIEC material system, inkjet printing holds the potential for further enhancing device performance and functionality. Overall, this study underscores the viability of inkjet printing as a scalable fabrication method for OMIEC‐based neuromorphic devices, paving the way for advancements in AI hardware.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.n the Benguela upwelling system off South Africa and Namibia, the early life history of commercial demersal fish species, such as the Cape hakes Merluccius paradoxus and M. capensis, has traditionally been less documented than for small pelagic species such as anchovy and sardine. However, recent surveys contain information on the seasonal and spatial distribution of Cape hakes eggs and larvae in this region. Interestingly, Cape hakes appear to spawn mainly in July to September, whereas the anchovy and sardine spawning period peaks in October to December. Cape hakes also spawn further offshore and deeper than anchovy and sardine. To investigate the reasons for these differences, we have developed a spatially explicit model of hake egg and larval dispersal, coupling a regional model of oceanic circulation (ROMS) to an individual-based model of ichthyoplankton dynamics (Ichthyop). Our simulation results suggest that differences in the drift routes of eggs and larvae from spawning grounds to nursery areas, which are mainly cross-shore for hakes and alongshore for anchovy and sardine, may partly explain the different spawning seasonality. Our results confirm field studies suggesting that the two hake species follow partly distinct drift routes to nursery areas on an “inshore” route for M. capensis and an “offshore” route for M. paradoxus. We then incorporate the simulated values of egg and larval connectivity between spawning grounds and nursery areas into a spatial age-structured population model. The ultimate objective of this model is to help in the assessment and design of Marine Protected Areas for the South African Cape hake resource.
Voice Function, Sonority, and Contrapuntal Procedure in Late Medieval Polyphony

Subjects: Music

description: During recent years, scholarship in the field of late medieval music has been heavily weighted toward archival research, paleography, and contemporary theory. Such enterprises have furthered our appreciation of the cultural contexts in which music was composed and experienced, and have led to some gratifying advances in our knowledge of manuscript compilation, performance practice, theoretical texts and their traditions, institutional history, and biography. Having rightly acknowledged such achievements, one must nevertheless concede that even the most positivistic avenues of research often yield results that are decidedly inconclusive. This state of affairs only reminds us that our understanding of music as a living art in this period must inevitably be founded upon the shifting sands of presumption and educated guessing. Moll offers some explanations.

description: Background: Horses must lie down to go into vital rapid‐eye movement (REM) sleep. If they are not lying down for sufficiently long periods they can become so sleep‐deprived that they collapse uncontrollably, which results in a risk of injuries. Objectives: To investigate how recumbency as a prerequisite to REM sleep on the experimental days and the following nights was influenced by changes in social and spatial environment throughout the day. Study design: Cross‐over design in which subjects experienced each experimental condition twice. Methods: Observations were conducted on a horse farm. Ten young horses in training were observed on days when they were alone indoors in a box, on an outdoor paddock alone, on the same paddock in pairs, and in the following night stabled alone. The number of lying bouts and the total lying duration throughout the day and night were assessed automatically using 3D‐accelerometers and data were evaluated using mixed‐models. Results: Horses had a higher number of lying bouts during the days ( p  = 0.05, by a factor of 1.21 [95% CI: 1.00–1.45]) and longer lying duration at night ( p  < 0.001, by a factor of 11.25 [6.47–18.40]). On average, the number of lying bouts and the duration of lying increased from being indoors alone, to being outdoors alone, and outdoors in pairs although this could not be statistically supported (bouts: p  = 0.5, by a factor of 1.08 [0.84–1.36] and 1.17 [0.91–1.48]; p  = 0.6, duration: by a factor of 1.39 [0.73–2.93] and 1.38 [0.68–2.78]). Main limitations: A small number of horses were observed and there was large variability between days within horses. Conclusions: We found some indications that open space and a social companion throughout the day increased time lying down in the day as well as during the following nights thus allowing for more REM sleep.
A phenomenological exploration of the effects of human patient simulation on undergraduate student nurses confidence to practice in the clinical environment.

description: There is a growing need for undergraduate students to acquire quality placements for clinical practice. However with the current state in healthcare, quality placements have been very hard to attain (Traynor, et al., 2010). Therefore HPS are become the latest trend in many nursing schools in attempt to address this issue (Traynor, et al., 2010). In this study, HPS has been seen to help with confidence levels for clinical practice. However, the benefits that students’ take away from the simulation based learning activities is very dependent on how the simulation is organized, structured and conducted. This notion is supported by the findings of this study. A qualitative phenomenological study design using two focus groups was used. A convenience sample of students from one educational institution, University of British Columbia (UBC) in the term 3, of their undergraduate nursing degree was emailed an invitation to attend a focus group session. There were six major themes and multiple sub- themes that came about during this study that impacted how students perceived their experience with HPS in relation to clinical confidence. The major themes that were evident from the participants’ experiences were classified as: Realism, building on knowledge, safe environment, critical thinking and confidence and anxiety. From this study several conclusions can be drawn about how HPS effects undergraduate student nurses confidence for clinical practice. Findings indicate it is crucial for participants to feel that the whole simulation experience depicts reality. Realism was the major theme related to clinical confidence. If the scenario was not simulating enough participants felt they did not learn much from them; however, during times when simulations were at the optimal level participants felt that they acquired many things, such as confidence, clinical techniques, linking theory to practice, identifying their own knowledge gaps, critical thinking, background knowledge to help in similar cases in the actual clinical environment. It is very important that HPS is well integrated into the nursing programs so students achieve great results from the simulations, which can be done if the simulations being conducted and organized at the right times in the programs.

description: Eggert's Conjecture says that if R is a finite-dimensional nilpotent commutative algebra over a perfect field F of characteristic p, and R^{(p)} is the image of the p-th power map on R, then dim_F R \geq p dim_F R^{(p)}. Whether this very elementary statement is true is not known. We examine heuristic evidence for this conjecture, versions of the conjecture that are not limited to positive characteristic and/or to commutative R, consequences the conjecture would have for semigroups, and examples that give equality in the conjectured inequality. We pose several related questions, and briefly survey the literature on the subject.
