description: 20. Euphorbia serpens Kunth in Humboldt et al. (1817: 52) (Fig. 6E–F). Type:— VENEZUELA. Vargas, Distrito Federal, Crescit in umbrosis Cumanae prope Bordones et Punta Araya, A.J.A. Bonpland & F.W.H.A. von Humboldt 407 (holotype P!).
 Distribution and habitat:— Euphorbia serpens is a worldwide tropical and subtropical weed. In the State of São Paulo the species is quite common (not as much so as E. prostrata and E. thymifolia), mainly in disturbed areas.
 Representative Specimen:— BRAZIL. São Paulo: Guarulhos, 03 April 2012, O.L.M. Silva 80 (SP).
 Taxonomic notes:— Euphorbia serpens differs from all other prostrate Euphorbia in the state of São Paulo by its complete absence of an indumentum, fused, whitish triangular intrapetiolar stipules, cyathial glands with petaloid appendages well developed and equal in size, presence of adventitious roots and a smooth seed coat.

description: 21. Euphorbia setosa (Boiss.) Müller Argoviensis (1874: 672) (Fig. 7A–C).
 Euphorbia selloi var. setosa Boissier (1862: 50). Lectotype (designated here): — BRASIL. Goiás: in campis incultis, N.T. Lund s.n. (G00311064!); remaining syntypes: same locality, L. Riedel s.n. (LE); Tijuco, F. Sellow s.n. (not located); Minas Gerais: in cacumine montis Urubu, J.B.E. Pohl 1674 (W0031069!).
 Distribution and habitat:— Euphorbia setosa is endemic to Brazil (Distrito Federal, Goiás, Minas Gerais and São Paulo). In the State of São Paulo it occurs in cerrado vegetation.
 Representative Specimen:— BRAZIL. São Paulo: Pedregulho, 06 November 1997, W. Marcondes-Ferreira et al. 1555 (SP, SPSF).
 Taxonomic notes:— Euphorbia setosa may be easily identified among the species in the state of São Paulo by its cyathial glands with erect and pubescent petaloid appendages, while others species’ petaloid appendages are always patent and glabrate. By having cyathia arranged in capitate dichasia and hirsute stems, Euphorbia setosa may be misidentified as E. hirta or E. ophthalmica, but these species may be distinguished by their lanceolate blades, cladodromous venation, entire leaf margin (vs. elliptic blades, actinodromous venation, serrate leaf margin in E. hirta and E. ophthalmica), number of flowers in each staminate cymule (10–12 in E. setosa vs. 1–2 in E. hirta and E. ophthalmica), and alveolate seeds coat (vs. seeds with transverse ridges in E. hirta and E. ophthalmica).
 The species is commonly misidentified as Euphorbia selloi (Klotzsch & Garcke in Klotzsch 1860: 32) Boissier (1862: 50), which is in fact very similar to it. However, it can be distinguished from it by its cyathial glands with erect and pubescent petaloid appendages (vs. patent and glabrous in E. selloi). Besides this, the geographic distribution is distinct between both species: E. setosa occurs in central–southeastern Brazil and E. selloi occurs in southern Brazil, northern Argentina and Uruguay (Simmons & Hayden 1997).

title: Predictors and Characteristics of AAC Service Delivery Among Post-Professional Speech-Language Pathologists
Creators: name: Gohsman, Meredith
Publisher: name: Old Dominion University Libraries
Year: 2021

description: In the United States, approximately four million individuals are unable to use verbal speech to meet communication needs (Beukelman & Mirenda, 2013). Augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) modalities support the needs of these individuals, offering temporary or permanent solutions to meet an individual’s communication needs across environments (Beukelman & Mirenda, 2013). Tasked with the use of AAC to support individuals with communication impairments, speech-language pathologists are directly involved in AAC service provision (American Speech-Language-Hearing Association, 2016). Past research has identified barriers to AAC service provision and use of AAC modalities, including lack of perceived competence, time, financial support, and availability of aided AAC modalities (e.g., Bailey et al., 2006; Costigan & Light, 2010; Iacono & Cameron, 2009; Marvin et al., 2003, Soto et al., 2001). This study surveyed post-professional speech-language pathologists to examine 1) characteristics of perceived competence and use of AAC during service delivery, 2) perceived barriers to AAC service delivery, and 3) learning preferences for AAC-related training.

description: We present a benchmark study of surrogate models for impurities embedded into crystalline solids. Using the Korringa-Kohn-Rostoker Green Function method and the AiiDA workflow engine [1], we have built a database of magnetic transition metal impurity dimers embedded in the topological insulator Bi2Te3. We predict isotropic exchange interaction of the impurity dimer in the classical Heisenberg model with machine learning and then use these surrogates as input for spin dynamics calculations to find the magnetic ground state of the material [2]. The study compares various recent E(3)-equivariant models such as ACE and MACE [3] in terms of performance and reproducible end-to-end workflows.References.[1] P. Rüßmann, F. Bertoldo, S.

On the Location and Composition of the Dust in the MCG-6-30-15 Warm Absorber

description: Hubble Space Telescope images of MCG-6-30-15 show a dust lane crossing the galaxy just below the nucleus. In this paper, we argue that this dust lane is responsible for the observed reddening of the nuclear emission and the Fe I edge hinted at in the Chandra spectrum of MCG-6-30-15. We further suggest that the gas within the dust lane can comprise much of the low ionization component (i.e., the one contributing the O VII edge) of the observed warm absorber. Moreover, placing the warm absorbing material at such distances (hundreds of pc) can account for the small outflow velocities of the low ionization absorption lines as well as the constancy of the O VIII edge. Photoionization models of a dusty interstellar gas cloud (with a column appropriate for the reddening toward MCG-6-30-15) using a toy Seyfert 1 spectral energy distribution show that it is possible to obtain a significant O VII edge (τ~0.2) if the material is ~150 pc from the ionizing source. For MCG-6-30-15, such a distance is consistent with the observed dust lane. The current data on MCG-6-30-15 is unable to constrain the dust composition within the warm absorber. Astronomical silicate is a viable candidate, but there are indications of a very low O abundance in the dust, which is inconsistent with a silicate origin. If true, this may indicate that there were repeated cycles of grain destruction and growth from shocks in the interstellar medium of MCG-6-30-15. Pure iron grains are an unlikely dust constituent due to the limit on their abundance in the Galaxy, yet they cannot be ruled out. The high column densities inferred from the highly ionized zone of the warm absorber implies that this gas is dust-free.

description: There is a growing body of research that recognizes the importance of healthy eating promotion in restaurants. Although abundant literature describes the disadvantageous conditions for healthy choices at restaurants, few studies have addressed how to change them and their implications. This dissertation addressed two initiatives to push people toward better food choices when they eat out: optimal menu item defaults and visual cues. Based on the theoretical framework that supports this research, they were called nutritional nudges. The impact of the optimal defaults and visual cues on a nutritional outcome as well as on cognitive-affective responses and behavioral intentions were examined in the context of a fast-food drive-thru. Calories ordered measured the nutritional effect. Dietary autonomy and anticipated pleasure were used to evaluate cognitive-affective responses. Behavioral responses encompassed restaurant visit intention and meal order intention. Additionally, the responses were analyzed as a function of the level of individual health concern. Optimal defaults provided a robust reduction in calories ordered but reduced dietary autonomy and anticipated pleasure. Although the order intention of meals that contained optimal defaults declined compared to combos created by consumers, a similar reduction occurred with the traditional combo meals. There was no significant difference in visit intention. Regarding the second nutritional nudge, this study did not find a significant effect from the combination of visual cues and defaults —neither the defaults' effect on calories nor on anticipated pleasure and order intention varied with the simultaneous presence of the two nutritional nudges. The effect on dietary autonomy and anticipated pleasure produced by optimal defaults was the same for different levels of health concern. By contrast, visual cues' presence changed the optimal defaults' effect on order intention depending on the consumer's health concern. When health concern values were lower, visual cues decreased the likelihood of ordering combos meals that included the optimal defaults, but when health concern was greater, visual cues enhanced their ordering intention compared to combo meals created by consumers. This dissertation illustrated the interplay between nutritional nudges and individuals' reactions that intrinsic characteristics may shape. The individual responses identified are of interest to the restaurant industry and may have profound implications for healthy eating promotion in those places.

description: At very high energies, pair production ($γ\to e^+e^-$) exhibits many interesting features. The momentum transfer from the target is very small, so the reaction probes the macroscopic properties of the target, rather than individual nuclei. Interference between interactions with different atoms reduces the pair production cross section considerably below the Bethe-Heitler values. At very high energies, photonuclear interactions may outnumber pair production. In contrast, in crystals, the interaction amplitudes may add coherently, greatly increasing the cross sections. Pair production in matter-free magnetic fields is also possible. The highest energy pair production occurs at high energy particle colliders. This article will compare pair production in these very different regimes.

description: The direct-current (dc) $σ_{xx}^{dc}$ and alternating-current (ac) $σ_{xx}^{ac}=σ_1-iσ_2$ conductivities of a wide (46 nm) GaAs quantum well with the bilayer electron density distribution are measured. It is found that the magnetic field dependence of $σ_{xx}$ exhibits three sets of oscillations related to the transitions between Landau levels in symmetric and antisymmetric subbands and with the transitions occurring owing to the Zeeman splitting of these subbands. The analysis of the frequency dependence of the ac conductivity and the $σ_1 / σ_2$ ratio demonstrates that the conductivity at the minima of oscillations is determined by the hopping mechanism.

description: Previous work on the rate of return to public agricultural research for the United States has neglected private agricultural research expenditures. This study, which factors in production variables like weather and the shifting health of national economy over a 70-year period (1915-85), does include private research. When private research is omitted, the rate of return to public research rises by almost 20 percent. This finding supports the extension of Federal and State funding for agricultural research, especially if it can be coordinated with effrots in the private sector.

description: Characteristic length scale of the post-Newtonian corrections to the gravitational field of a body is given by its gravitational radius r_g. The role of this scale in quantum domain is discussed in the context of the low-energy effective theory. The question of whether quantum gravity effects appear already at r_g leads to the question of correspondence between classical and quantum theories, which in turn can be unambiguously resolved considering the issue of general covariance. The O(\hbar^0) loop contributions turn out to violate the principle of general covariance, thus revealing their essentially quantum nature. The violation is O(1/N), where N is the number of particles in the body. This leads naturally to a macroscopic formulation of the correspondence principle.

 Distribution and habitat:— Euphorbia thymifolia is a worldwide tropical and subtropical weed. In the state of São Paulo the species is very common, mainly in disturbed areas.
 Representative Specimen:— BRAZIL. São Paulo: Eldorado, 11 October 2012, O.L.M. Silva & M. Pastore 35 (SP).
 Taxonomic notes:— Euphorbia thymifolia is very similar to E. adenoptera, but these species may be distinguished by cyathial glands appendages, anther color and fruiting pedicel (see notes under E. adenoptera).
 The species is commonly misidentified as Euphorbia prostrata because of its prostrate growth, but differs from it due to its cyathial glands with unequal appendages, completely pubescent ovary and fruit (vs. cyathial glands with equal appendages and trichomes restricted to the keel of the cocci in E. prostrata), yellow to reddish anthers (vs. blackish in E. prostrata) and brown seeds (vs. grayish in E. prostrata).

Year: 2021

description: This deliverable presents the requirements for the deployment of the showcases of the project SiEUGreen. It elaborates the initial requirements that were established by the showcase leaders in the SiEUGreen kick-off meeting and proposes additional ones. The goal of the deliverable is to help the showcase leaders towards the effective and timely deployment of the showcases. Briefly the deliverable provides instructions and suggestions to showcase leaders as regards the establishment of the showcase vision, the deployment of the technologies, stakeholder and end-user engagement and other relevant issues. The deliverable is addressed primarily to the SiEUGreen showcase leaders (Changsha: HHEPSTI, Beijing: CAAS, Hatay: Hatay Municipality, Frederikstad: NMBU, Aarhus: Nordregio and Aarhus municipality) who are asked to read it thoroughly in order to provide input towards the development of the Common Implementation Framework (D3.2). Additionally the deliverable is addressed to the technology providers (NIBIO, NMBU) who are expected to collaborate with the showcase teams to help them meet the technical and regulatory requirements. Last, it is addressed to all the partners who are related to the showcase deployment (NORDREGIO, NIBIO, CREVIS, EMETRIS, HHEPSTI, OKYS, A-AQUA AS). The deliverable will be useful for the partners throughout the period of the deployment of the SiEUGreen showcases, as a guide on what needs to be accomplished. However, most of the requirements need to be met by the beginning of the showcase deployment or at the very early stages. The current deliverable is the first of WP3 and establishes the ground for the deployment of the showcases of SiEUGreen. It will be complemented by deliverable D3.2 “Common implementation framework”, which will present how the showcases are going to meet the requirements and elaborates a reporting methodology. Subsequent deliverable D3.3 “Midterm showcase deployment report” and D3.4 “Final showcase deployment report” will present the reporting from the showcases. Deliverable D3.5 “City benchmarking” will provide an assessment of the impact of each showcase and compare them with each other in a benchmarking exercise. Last (but earlier than D3.5) deliverable D3.6 “Commurban software delivery” will provide the app for the engagement of citizens with Urban Agriculture (UA) in the showcase locations.

description: Let $\widehat{\mathcal {S}}_g^{α, β}(\mathbb{B}^n)$ be a subclass of normalized biholomorphic mappings defined on the unit ball in $\mathbb{C}^n,$ which is closely related to the starlike mappings. Firstly, we obtain the growth theorem for $\widehat{\mathcal {S}}_g^{α, β}(\mathbb{B}^n)$. Secondly, we apply the growth theorem and a new type of the boundary Schwarz lemma to establish the distortion theorems of the Fréchet-derivative type and the Jacobi-determinant type for this subclass, and the distortion theorems with $g$-starlike mapping (resp. starlike mapping) are partly established also. At last, we study the Kirwan and Pell type results for the compact set of mappings which have $g$-parametric representation associated with a modified Roper-Suffridge extension operator, which extend some earlier related results.

description: We calculate the time dependence of the reflected entropy of two disconnected regions after a global quench in $(1+1)$-dimensional conformal field theories and in large temperature limit. For rational conformal field theories, we find that the time evolution of the reflected entropy is the same as that of the mutual information. We get the same result for holographic theories in the limit where the separation between disconnected regions is much smaller than their respective sizes. We discuss how this result is consistent with the quasi-particle picture of Calabrese and Cardy \cite{calabrese-cardy}.

description: There are an increasing number of people who are looking down at their mobile phones reading articles, emails, messages, or books while navigating through foot traffic and city streets. In this paper, we compare three methods for displaying long-form text on mobile devices while walking. The comparison considers reading speeds (WPM) and comprehension (multiple choice quiz). The three display methods compared are referred to as traditional, dimming, and highlight. Both the dimming and highlight methods aim to encourage a single-line focal area for the reader. We recruited 18 participants to read long-form articles displayed using the three display methods on an iPhone 6S while walking along a prescribed course. The results indicate for reading comprehension that both the dimming and highlight methods demonstrated statistically significant improvements while there was no significant impact on reading speed.

description: The lack of sufficient access to clean water is a common problem faced by communities, efforts to alleviate poverty and gender inequality and improve economic growth in developing countries. While reforms have been implemented to manage water resources, these have taken little notice of how people use and manage their water and have had limited effect at the ground level. On the other hand, regulations developed within communities are livelihood-oriented and provide incentives for collective action but they can also be hierarchal, enforcing power and gender inequalities. This book shows how bringing together the strengths of community-based laws rooted in user participation and the formalized legal systems of the public sector, water management regimes will be more able to reach their goals. Evaluating the interface between community and formal water laws, chapters consider examples from Africa, Latin America and Asia and provide valuable insights for policy makers, managers, researchers and field implementers.

description: Abstract: It is normal practice to send and receive short messaging service (SMS) messages using a mobile phone. As a result, mobile phones are indispensable for the communication of information in a secure and instantaneous manner in our everyday lives. While utilizing mobile computing, this is one of the most efficient techniques for exchanging data in a safe manner. These days, researchers are concentrating their efforts on mobile computing as a technology that can send data in a safe and effective manner. Ensuring that end users are able to communicate securely with one another from beginning to finish is essential for protecting against it. We propose a method that encrypts SMS data from the beginning to the end as it travels over the network in order to accomplish the above-and-beyond. In addition to being an effective and safe protocol, EasySMS makes it possible for end-to-end encrypted SMS communication to take place between end users. The implementation of this protocol is the objective of this endeavor.Two mobile stations, the authentication server (AS) and the relevant mobile station (MS), are responsible for storing all of the symmetric keys that are shared between the AS and the MS. The registration authority is responsible for storing all of the information that is associated with the mobile subscriber. Simply said, these are the primary elements that make up the Easy SMS system.The only thing that happens during the first step is authentication, but during the second stage, the two mobile phones really communicate with one another in order to send and receive messages before the time limit is approached.Two different scenarios are included in the Easy SMS protocol.In the first scenario, both mobile stations are connected to an authentication server (AS), which is required for authentication.When it comes to the second scenario, the mobile stations make use of two distinct authentication servers (AS).A number of different encryption methods are used while transmitting data over the short message service (SMS). These methods include the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES), Triple DES, and the MD5 algorithm, which provides a hash function.The Easy SMS protocol offers protection against a variety of threats, including impersonation, replay, man-in-the-middle, over-the-air modification, and SMS disclosure, to name a few.

description: Lumbopelvic rhythm illustrates the relative motion between the lumbar spine and pelvis during various activities and could be used as a biomarker for low back pain (LBP). Sagittal plane lumbopelvic rhythm has been extensively examined as a surrogate to measure low back pain risk factor, but trunk rotation, the second component of lifting is commonly missed. Since lumbopelvic rhythm are time series and not discrete variables, machine learning may be a viable solution in identifying clusters of patterns for healthy adults.

description: We consider the Hamiltonian formulation of Horava gravity in arbitrary dimensions, which has been proposed as a renormalizable gravity model for quantum gravity without the ghost problem. We study the "full" constraint analysis of the "non-projectable" Horava gravity whose potential, V(R), is an arbitrary function of the (intrinsic) Ricci scalar R. We find that there exist generally distinct cases of this theory, depending on (i) whether the Hamiltonian constraint generates new (second-class) constraints (Cases A, C) or just fixes the associated Lagrange multipliers (Case B), or (ii) whether the IR Lorentz-deformation parameter λis at the conformal point (Case C) or not (Cases A, B). It is found that, for Cases A and C, the dynamical degrees of freedom are the same as in general relativity, while, for Case B, there is "one additional phase-space degree of freedom", representing an extra (odd) scalar graviton mode. This would resolve the long-standing debates about the extra graviton modes and achieves the dynamical consistency of the Horava gravity, at the "fully non-linear" level. Several exact solutions are also considered as some explicit examples of the new constraints. The structure of the newly obtained, "extended" constraint algebra seems to be generic to Horava gravity and its general proof would be a challenging problem. Some other challenging problems, which include the path integral quantization and the Dirac bracket quantization are discussed also.

description: We calculate nucleosynthesis in Population (Pop) III supernovae (SNe) and compare the yields with various abundance patterns of extremely metal-poor (EMP) stars. We assume that the observed EMP stars are the second generation stars, which have the metal-abundance patterns of Pop III SNe. Previous theoretical yields of Pop III SNe cannot explain the trends in the abundance ratios among iron-peak elements (Mn, Co, Ni, Zn)/Fe as well as the large C/Fe ratio observed in certain EMP stars with [Fe/H] ~ 2) and low [Fe/H] (=~ -5 \~ -3.5) stars can be explained with the yields of faint SNe that eject little 56Ni as observed in SN1997D. In the supernova-induced star formation model, we can qualitatively explain why the EMP stars formed by the faint or energetic supernovae have lower [Fe/H] than the EMP stars formed by normal supernovae. We also examine how the abundance ratios among iron-peak elements depend on the electron mole fraction Ye, and conclude that a large explosion energy is still needed to realize the large Co/Fe and Zn/Fe ratios observed in typical EMP stars with [Fe/H]

description: Simulations are a pedagogical means of enabling a risk-free way for healthcare practitioners to learn, maintain, or enhance their knowledge and skills. Such simulations should provide an optimum amount of cognitive load to the learner and be tailored to their levels of expertise. However, most current simulations are a one-type-fits-all tool used to train different learners regardless of their existing skills, expertise, and ability to handle cognitive load. To address this problem, we propose an end-to-end framework for a trauma simulation that actively classifies a participant's level of cognitive load and expertise for the development of a dynamically adaptive simulation. To facilitate this solution, trauma simulations were developed for the collection of electrocardiogram (ECG) signals of both novice and expert practitioners. A multitask deep neural network was developed to utilize this data and classify high and low cognitive load, as well as expert and novice participants. A leave-one-subject-out (LOSO) validation was used to evaluate the effectiveness of our model, achieving an accuracy of 89.4% and 96.6% for classification of cognitive load and expertise, respectively.

description: In recent years, graphene has found its use in numerous industrial applications due to its unique properties. While its impermeable and conductive nature can replace currently used anticorrosive toxic pigments in coating systems, due to its large strength to weight ratio, graphene can be an important component as a next-generation additive for automotive, aerospace and construction applications. The current bottlenecks in using graphene and graphene oxide and other two-dimensional materials are the availability of cost-effective, high-quality materials and their effective incorporation (functionalization and dispersion) into the product matrices. On overcoming these factors, graphene may attract significant demands in terms of volume consumption. Graphene can be produced on industrial scales and through cost-effective top-down routes such as chemical, electrochemical and/or high-pressure mechanical exfoliation. Graphene, depending on end applications, can be chemically tuned and modified via functionalization so that easy incorporation into product matrices is possible. This paper discusses different production methods and their impact on the quality of graphene produced in terms of energy input. Graphene with an average thickness below five layers was produced by both methods with varied defects. However, a higher yield of graphene with a lower number of layers was produced via the high-pressure exfoliation route.This article is part of a discussion meeting issue ‘A cracking approach to inventing new tough materials: fracture stranger than friction’.

description: The chiral invariant QHD-III model of Serot and Walecka is applied in the calculation of some meson properties. The electromagnetic interaction is included by extending the symmetry of the model to the local U(1) \times SU(2)_{R} \times SU(2)_{L} group. The minimal and nonminimal contributions to the electromagnetic Lagrangian are obtained in a new representation of QHD-III. Strong decays of the axial-vector meson, a_{1} \to πρ, a_{1} \to πσ, and the electromagnetic decays ρ\to ππγ, a_{1} \to πγand ρ\to πγare calculated. The low-energy parameters for the π-πscattering are calculated in the tree-level approximation. The effect of the auxiliary Higgs bosons, introduced in QHD-III in order to generate masses of the vector and axial-vector mesons via the Higgs mechanism, is studied as well. This is done on the tree level for π-πscattering and on the level of one-loop diagrams for the a_{1} \to πγdecay. It is demonstrated that the model successfully describes some features of meson phenomenology in the non-strange sector.

description: Microarray data analysis is one of the major area of research in the field computational biology. Numerous techniques like clustering, biclustering are often applied to microarray data to extract meaningful outcomes which play key roles in practical healthcare affairs like disease identification, drug discovery etc. But these techniques become obsolete when time as an another factor is considered for evaluation in such data. This problem motivates to use triclustering method on gene expression 3D microarray data. In this article, a new methodology based on coarse-grained parallel genetic approach is proposed to locate meaningful triclusters in gene expression data. The outcomes are quite impressive as they are more effective as compared to traditional state of the art genetic approaches previously applied for triclustering of 3D GCT microarray data.

description: The combination of words ``discrete curvature'' is only an apparent contradiction. In this survey we describe curvature notions associated with polygons, polyhedral surfaces, and with abstract polyhedral manifolds. Several theorems about the discrete curvature are stated that repeat literally classical theorems of differential and Riemannian geometry: Theorema Egregium, Gauss--Bonnet theorem, and the Chern--Gauss--Bonnet theorem among the others. Some convergence results are also mentioned: under certain assumptions the discrete curvature tends to the smooth curvature as a smooth object is approximated by polyhedral ones.
