description: We introduce a spatially explicit model for the competition between type $a$ and type $b$ alleles. Each vertex of the $d$-dimensional integer lattice is occupied by a diploid individual, which is in one of three possible states or genotypes: $aa$, $ab$ or $bb$. We are interested in the long-term behavior of the gene frequencies when Mendel's law of segregation does not hold. This results in a voter type model depending on four parameters; each of these parameters measures the strength of competition between genes during meiosis. We prove that with or without a spatial structure, type $a$ and type $b$ alleles coexist at equilibrium when homozygotes are poor competitors. The inclusion of a spatial structure, however, reduces the parameter region where coexistence occurs.

description: The proliferation of health misinformation on social media, particularly regarding chronic conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, and obesity, poses significant public health risks. This study evaluates the feasibility of leveraging Natural Language Processing (NLP) techniques for real-time misinformation detection and classification, focusing on Reddit discussions. Using logistic regression as a baseline model, supplemented by Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) for topic modeling and K-Means clustering, we identify clusters prone to misinformation. While the model achieved a 73% accuracy rate, its recall for misinformation was limited to 12%, reflecting challenges such as class imbalance and linguistic nuances. The findings underscore the importance of advanced NLP models, such as transformer based architectures like BERT, and propose the integration of causal reasoning to enhance the interpretability and robustness of AI systems for public health interventions.
The distribution of zinc and copper in Georgia Strait, British Columbia : effects of the Fraser River and sediment-exchange reactions
Creators: name: Thomas, David Joseph
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: The distribution of dissolved and particulate copper and zinc was studied at a series of stations in Georgia Strait between May 1973 and May 1974. Large time-dependent fluctuations in the concentrations of both metals were observed which appeared to be related to the discharge of the Fraser River. Although there is insufficient data at present to explain many of the detailed features of the distributions, most of the large scale features can apparently be related to a release of copper and zinc from river-borne sediment as it passes from fresh to salt water. Laboratory experiments performed on Fraser River sediment and a rough estimation of the zinc and copper budgets in Georgia Strait are consistent with this hypothesis. The tendency of copper and zinc concentrations to covary suggests that their distributions are controlled by similar processes. Thus, the available evidence suggests that the observed dissolved metal distributions are largely the result of complicated mixing patterns superimposed on the effects of sediment-exchange reactions and the sinking of sediment particles.

description: Magnetic reconnection is a fundamental physical process converting magnetic energy into not only plasma energy but also particle energy in various astrophysical phenomena. In this letter, we show a unique dataset of a solar flare where various plasmoids were formed by a continually stretched current sheet. EUV images captured reconnection inflows, outflows, and particularly the recurring plasma blobs (plasmoids). X-ray images reveal nonthermal emission sources at the lower end of the current sheet, presumably as large plasmoids with a sufficiently amount of energetic electrons trapped in. In the radio domain, an upward slowly drifting pulsation structure, followed by a rare pair of oppositely drifting structures, was observed. These structures are supposed to map the evolution of the primary and the secondary plasmoids formed in the current sheet. Our results on plasmoids at different locations and scales shed important light on the dynamics, plasma heating, particle acceleration, and transport processes in the turbulent current sheet and provide observational evidence for the cascading magnetic reconnection process.

description: We have conducted a deep multi-wavelength analysis (0.15-160 mum) to study the outer region of the nearby galaxy M94. We show that the non-optical data support the idea that the outskirts of this galaxy is not formed by a closed stellar ring (as traditionally claimed in the literature) but by a spiral arm structure. In this sense, M94 is a good example of a Type III (anti-truncated) disk galaxy having a very bright outer disk. The outer disk of this galaxy contains ~23% of the total stellar mass budget of the galaxy and contributes ~10% of the new stars created showing that this region of the galaxy is active. In fact, the specific star formation rate of the outer disk (~0.012 Gyr^{-1}) is a factor of ~2 larger (i.e. the star formation is more efficient per unit stellar mass) than in the inner disk. We have explored different scenarios to explain the enhanced star formation in the outer disk. We find that the inner disk (if considered as an oval distortion) can dynamically create a spiral arm structure in the outer disk which triggers the observed relatively high star formation rate as well as an inner ring similar to what is found in this galaxy.

description: Objective:� This cross-sectional study explored the associations between spiritual transcendence (ST) ? prayer/meditation fulfillment, connectedness, and universality ? and the American Heart Association?s Life?s Simple 7 (LS7), and if variations across and within racial and socioeconomic groups emerged. Methods:� Data were taken from the Healthy Aging in Neighborhoods of Diversity across the Life Span study and included 1,110 midlife and older African American (AA) and White adults (mean [standard deviation] age=56.13 [8.91] years; 65.0% above poverty; 78.1% � high school education). ST was self-reported. LS7 comprised physical activity, smoking, diet, body mass index, cholesterol, glucose, and blood pressure. Higher LS7 reflects better cardiovascular health (CVH). Multiple linear regression estimated associations between ST and LS7. A 3-way interaction term (ST, race, and either education or poverty status) was included in models adjusted for sex and age. Results:� A 3-way interaction was observed for ST, race, and poverty status (b=1.29, SE=0.35, P<0.001). Simple slopes showed a positive association for White adults living above poverty only (b=0.54, SE=0.15, P<0.001). Exploratory analyses found a nonlinear 3-way interactive effect including ST, race, and age (i.e., U-shaped; b=0.04, SE=0.02, P=0.048). Both lesser and greater ST were associated with higher LS7 for older AA adults exclusively (b=0.03, SE=0.01, P=0.024). Conclusion:� Although spirituality was associated with overall CVH, it was not beneficial for everyone equally. If tailored appropriately, the integration of spirituality into care practices may promote better CVH.

We express the eikonal scattering matrix in terms of the color charge densities of the colliding objects. The calculation is performed in the Hamiltonian formalism. We also show that the appearance of the longitudinal electric and magnetic fields immediately following the collision is fully taken into account in the eikonal approximation.

description: This study investigated the effects of a pregroup motivational intervention for domestic abuse perpetrators. Men presenting for treatment at a community domestic violence agency (N = 108) were assigned to receive either a two-session intake using the techniques of motivational interviewing (MI) or a structured intake (SI) control. All participants were then referred to a cognitive behavioral treatment (CBT) program in groups homogeneous with respect to intake condition. The motivational intake led to more constructive insession behavior during the early phase of group CBT, greater compliance with group CBT homework assignments, higher late session therapist ratings of the working alliance, and more help seeking outside of the domestic violence program. No significant effects of intake condition were found on session attendance, self-reports of readiness to change abusive behavior, or client reports of the working alliance. Partner reports of abusive behavior outcomes during the 6 months after group CBT revealed a marginal effect favoring the MI condition on physical assault. The findings suggest that motivational interviewing can increase receptivity to partner violence interventions.

description: Using our new 3-D relativistic electromagnetic particle (REMP) code parallelized with MPI, we have investigated long-term particle acceleration associated with an relativistic electron-positron jet propagating in an unmagnetized ambient electron-positron plasma. The simulations have been performed using a much longer simulation system than our previous simulations in order to investigate the full nonlinear stage of the Weibel instability and its particle acceleration mechanism. Cold jet electrons are thermalized and ambient electrons are accelerated in the resulting shocks. The acceleration of ambient electrons leads to a maximum ambient electron density three times larger than the original value. Behind the bow shock in the jet shock strong electromagnetic fields are generated. These fields may lead to the afterglow emission. We have calculated the time evolution of the spectrum from two electrons propagating in a uniform parallel magnetic field to verify the technique.

description: Population and clinical studies document an association between intimate partner violence (IPV) and substance use problems. The current review addressed the question of whether, and to what extent, treatment for substance use problems is associated with reductions in partner abusive behavior. Data from naturalistic studies were used to examine the prevalence and frequency of IPV before and after substance use treatment, IPV among stably remitted versus relapsed cases after treatment, and factors that may explain observed reductions in partner violence. On average, the prevalence of IPV was 2?3 times higher before substance use treatment than after treatment, and the relative risk for IPV after treatment was 2?3 times greater for relapsed versus remitted cases. Small to moderate effect sizes were observed for reductions in the frequency of IPV after substance use treatment, with large effects observed for reductions in psychological aggression. Both reduced alcohol consumption and improved relationship functioning appear to account for observed reductions in partner abuse.
Mechanism of spin ordering in Fe$_{3}$O$_{4}$ nanoparticles by surface coating with organic acids

description: Saturation magnetization values close to the bulk have been reported for coated magnetite nanoparticles with organic acids. The mechanism of this effect is not yet understood. Here we show that a previously proposed rationalization in Nano Letters 12 (2021) 2499-2503 was based on electronic structure properties that are not consistent with several existing density functional theory studies. Our study is based on a wide set of Hubbard-corrected density functional tight binding (DTFB+U) and hybrid density functional theory (HSE06) calculations on Fe$_{3}$O$_{4}$ nanocubes of more than 400 atoms. We provide a new explanation for the spin ordering in coated nanoparticles, through the investigation of spin-flipping phenomena. In particular, we show that the spin-flip of d electrons at octahedral Fe$^{3+}$ sites, which is confirmed to be more favorable near the surface, especially where atomic reorganization can take place such as at corner sites, can be hampered by the presence of adsorbed organic acids because they do not only limit the surface reconstruction but also allow for additional ferromagnetic superexchange interaction between octahedral Fe sites as a consequence of the carboxylates bridging binding mode. The proof-of-concept of this mechanism is given by a simplified model of the Fe(III) tert-butoxide dimer.

description: This thesis presents extensions and enhancements to an existing Lagrangian model for atmospheric convection. The Moist Parcel-In-Cell (MPIC) method, developed by Dritschel et al. (2018), is a novel approach which avoids some shortcomings of conventional large-eddy simulation models, particularly concerning the representation of sub-grid turbulence. While the method is in a relatively early stage, we provide case studies to show the model’s potential. The first case study simulates the ascent of a rising thermal, subject to constant vertical wind shear. Using MPIC, we find that low to intermediate shear appears to promote cloud growth, but high shear tears the thermal apart. The air is partitioned into cloud-air and dry-air components based on the liquid water content and the evolution of the enstrophy associated with each component suggests that the increasing shear is causing more dry air to become turbulent and influence the growth of the cloud. Our second study analyses the potential energy in MPIC and its sensitivity to numerical parameters. The results show an abnormal growth in the total energy at early times, which is attributed to a failure to enforce incompressibility in the method. The energy evolutions appear to converge with resolution and the numerical mixing parameters in the model for early to intermediate times, although the turbulent flow leads to greater discrepancies in the late-stage energy evolution. Finally, we present a simulation of the shear-free atmospheric boundary layer, modelled through the implementation of surface fluxes of parcel attributes in MPIC. Our results show evidence of the two-layer entrainment zone structure observed in previous studies. Comparisons of the vertical enstrophy distribution and vorticity field further support this. We also compute entrainment rate parameters that suggest that MPIC underestimates entrainment compared to the zero-order model and overestimates entrainment when using the global buoyancy increment across the entire entrainment zone. Nonetheless, the entrainment rate in MPIC compares favourably to results in the literature when using a local buoyancy increment computed at the height of minimum buoyancy flux.
Il diritto di difesa nel procedimento de libertate tra prova del fumus commissi delicti e giusto processo cautelare

description: Il tema generale di ricerca oggetto della presente trattazione è rappresentato dal diritto di difesa nel procedimento de libertate. Esso costituisce un tema da sempre controverso, materia di vivaci e mai sopiti dibattiti sia in dottrina che in giurisprudenza, poiché si colloca in un punto nevralgico non solo del procedimento penale, ma, addirittura, dell’intero ordinamento giuridico di uno stato, poiché in esso si incontrano, e sovente si scontrano, le istanze di garanzia del cittadino contro indebite limitazioni ante iudicium della libertà personale, da un lato, e le esigenze di tutela della collettività e del processo dai pericula libertatis (inquinamento delle prove, rischio di fuga, pericolo di reiterazione dei reati), dall’altro. Detto in altri termini, il procedimento de libertate è esattamente il luogo in cui un ordinamento che voglia definirsi liberale, nella sua naturale e incessante evoluzione, tenta faticosamente di trovare un equilibrio tra autorità e libertà.
Trattandosi, per ovvie ragioni, di un argomento vastissimo, che spazia dall’esercizio del diritto di difesa nella fase applicativa delle misure cautelari personali, alle impugnazioni delle misure medesime, dalla revoca o sostituzione delle stesse al giudicato cautelare sulle decisioni de libertate, etc., il campo della ricerca è stato circoscritto a due temi specifici che interessano direttamente il diritto di difesa, limitatamente alla fase dell’applicazione delle misure cautelari personali, e che presentano profili di originalità, per alcune importanti modifiche intervenute a livello sia di legislazione ordinaria che di legislazione costituzionale: 1) l’accertamento dei gravi indizi di colpevolezza; 2) il principio del contraddittorio nel procedimento cautelare, alla luce dell’art. 111 Cost. Siffatti temi, apparentemente disomogenei, sono, in realtà, profondamente correlati tra loro, rappresentando, per usare una locuzione spicciola, l’uno la “sostanza” e l’altro “la forma” del procedimento de libertate, ed insieme concorrono ad individuare un modello di giusto processo cautelare.

description: Careful attention to motivation for change may enhance the effects of interventions for partner-violent men. The present study tested predictions about differential response to a two-session motivational intake (MI) for partner-violent men, which was compared to a structured intake (SI) control. For those who were initially reluctant to change, MI produced greater forward movement in stage of change. For those who claimed to have already solved their problems with partner abuse, MI produced greater backward movement in stage of change and greater homework compliance in subsequent group cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT). MI led to a stronger collaborative working alliance for those high in contemplation of change, and greater group session attendance for those with high trait anger. Contrary to hypotheses, analyses of post-CBT partner assault revealed a differentially greater benefit of MI for participants with lower levels of pretreatment contemplation and trait anger. The findings provide qualified support for the expectation that MI has the greatest beneficial effects on those who appear initially reluctant to change.

description: Under the hypotheses of analyticity in the coupling constant, locality, Lorentz covariance, and Poincare invariance of the deformations, combined with the preservation of the number of derivatives on each field, the consistent interactions between a collection of free massless tensor gauge fields with the mixed symmetry of a two-column Young diagram of the type (3,1) and one Abelian vector field, respectively a $p$-form gauge field, are addressed. The main result is that a single mixed symmetry tensor field from the collection gets coupled to the vector field/$p$-form. Our final result resembles to the well known fact from General Relativity according to which there is one graviton in a given world.

Towards Rapid Environmental Assessment and Coastal Forecasting in the Northern Adriatic Sea

Year: 2010

description: A new Coastal Rapid Environmental Assessment (CREA) strategy has been developed and successfully applied to the Northern Adriatic Sea. CREA strategy exploits the recent advent of operational oceanography to establish a CREA system based on an operational regional forecasting system and coastal monitoring networks of opportunity. The methodology wishes to initialize a coastal high resolution model, nested within the regional forecasting system, blending the large scale parent model fields with the available coastal observations to generate the requisite field estimates.
CREA modeling system consists of a high resolution, O(800m), Adriatic SHELF model (ASHELF) implemented into the Northern Adriatic basin and nested within the Adriatic Forecasting System (AFS) (Oddo et al. 2006). The observational system is composed by the coastal networks established in the framework of ADRICOSM (ADRiatic sea integrated COastal areaS and river basin Managment system) Pilot Project. An assimilation technique exerts a correction of the initial field provided by AFS on the basis of the available observations. The blending of the two data sets has been carried out through a multi-scale optimal interpolation technique developed by Mariano and Brown (1992).
Two CREA weekly exercises have been conducted: the first, at the beginning of May (spring experiment); the second in middle August (summer experiment). The weeks have been chosen looking at the availability of all coastal observations in the initialization day and one week later to validate model results, verifying our predictive skills. ASHELF spin up time has been investigated too, through a dedicated experiment, in order to obtain the maximum forecast accuracy within a minimum time. Energetic evaluations show that for the Northern Adriatic Sea and for the forcing applied, a spin-up period of one week allows ASHELF to generate new circulation features enabled by the increased resolution and its total kinetic energy to establish a new dynamical balance.
CREA results, evaluated by mean of standard statistics between ASHELF and coastal CTDs, show improvement deriving from the initialization technique and a good model performance in the coastal areas of the Northern Adriatic basin, characterized by a shallow and wide continental shelf subject to substantial freshwater influence from rivers. Results demonstrate the feasibility of our CREA strategy to support coastal zone management and wish an additional establishment of operational coastal monitoring activities to advance it.

In Part A we consider the general problem of the generation of unstable shelf waves, a problem that relates to the generation of the meanders in the Gulf Stream. In Part B we consider the generation of transverse motions of the thermocline in long two layer bodies of water by general wind stresses. The instability of fluid systems has been studied for a long time, but the problem of how the instabilities are generated and grow has been neglected. Recently, however, in the study of the interaction of plasmas with electron streams, techniques have been developed to study the growth of instabilities. These techniques can in principle be applied to any unstable linear system that is excited by stationary forcing. In Part A we describe these techniques and extend them to cover the case of moving forcing effects. He then use the results to study the generation of unstable shelf waves. Long barotropic waves trapped on an abrupt change in bottom topography are shelf waves; the presence of lateral shear in the persistent ocean currents gives rise to unstable shelf waves. The possible presence of such waves in the Gulf Stream system could explain the generation of the meanders in the Gulf Stream. Thus we study the response of a model Gulf Stream that supports unstable shelf waves to the wind. Only curl free wind stress is considered, mainly for convenience. It is found that only on the offshore side of the stream, where the response is always larger than on the inshore side, are the unstable waves always dominant. A wind system moving slowly in the direction of the stream is the most efficient at generating the unstable waves, but its efficiency is affected quite drastically by the duration of the disturbance. A wind system moving counter to the stream is less efficient by about a factor of eight, but is practically unaffected by a change in duration. In Part B we consider a stable system. We use simple Fourier expansion to study the motions of the thermocline in an infinitely long two layer body of water generated by both long axis and cross channel winds. It is found that in a wide lake, such as Lake Michigan, cross channel winds are more efficient in generating transverse motions which in all cases are multi-modal. Here wide means wide in comparison to the Rossby radius of curvature. These results agree only qualitatively with observations made on Lake Michigan. In fact reasonable wind stresses only give responses about one-tenth of those observed. In a narrow lake it is found that the response to a long axis wind is larger than that to a cross channel wind, both giving a uni-modal response. Observations of wind and thermocline depth taken at Babine Lake in northern B.C. agree quite well with the theory.

description: Recent observations of two nodeless gaps in superconducting CeCu$_2$Si$_2$ have raised intensive debates as to its exact gap structure of either sign-reversal ($s^{+-}$) or sign-preserving ($s^{++}$) pairing. Here we investigate the quasiparticle interference (QPI) using realistic Fermi surface topology for both weak and strong interband impurity scatterings. Our calculations of the QPI and integrated antisymmetrized local density of states reveal qualitative distinctions between $s^{+-}$ and $s^{++}$ pairing states, which include the intragap impurity resonance and a significant energy-dependence difference between two gap energies. Our predictions provide a guide for phase-sensitive QPI measurements to uncover decisively the true pairing symmetry in the heavy-fermion superconductor CeCu$_2$Si$_2$.

description: A randomized clinical trial tested the hypothesis that a flexible, case formulation?based, individual treatment approach integrating motivational interviewing strategies with cognitive-behavioral therapy (ICBT) is more efficacious than a standardized group cognitive-behavioral approach (GCBT) for perpetrators of intimate partner violence (IPV). Forty-two men presenting for services at a community domestic violence agency were randomized to receive 20 sessions of ICBT or a 20-week group cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) program. Participants and their relationship partners completed assessments of relationship abuse and relationship functioning at baseline and quarterly follow-ups for 1 year. Treatment uptake and session attendance were significantly higher in ICBT than GCBT. However, contrary to the study hypothesis, GCBT produced consistently equivalent or greater benefits than ICBT. Participant self-reports revealed significant reductions in abusive behavior and injuries across conditions with no differential benefits between conditions. Victim partner reports revealed more favorable outcomes for group treatment, including a statistically significant difference in psychological aggression, and differences exceeding a medium effect size for physical assault, emotional abuse, and partner relationship adjustment. In response to hypothetical relationship scenarios, GCBT was associated with greater reductions than ICBT (exceeding a medium effect) in articulated cognitive distortions and aggressive intentions. Treatment competence ratings suggest that flexible, individualized administration of CBT creates challenges in session agenda setting, homework implementation, and formal aspects of relationship skills training. Although caution is needed in generalizing findings from this small-scale trial, the results suggest that the mutual support and positive social influence available in group intervention may be particularly helpful for IPV perpetrators.

Influence of the nuclear symmetry energy slope on observables of compact stars with $Δ$-admixed hypernuclear matter

description: In this work, we study the effects of nuclear symmetry energy slope on neutron star dense matter equation of state and its impact on neutron star observables (mass-radius, tidal response). We construct the equation of state within the framework of covariant density functional theory implementing coupling schemes of non-linear and density-dependent models with viability of heavier non-nucleonic degrees of freedom. The slope of symmetry energy parameter ($L_{\text{sym}}$) is adjusted following density-dependence of isovector meson coupling to baryons. We find that smaller values of $L_{\text{sym}}$ at saturation favour early appearance of $Δ$-resonances in comparison to hyperons leading to latter's threshold at higher matter densities. We also investigate the dependence of $L_{\text{sym}}$ on tidal deformability and compactness parameter of a $1.4~M_\odot$ neutron star for different equation of states and observe similar converging behaviour for larger $L_{\text{sym}}$ values.

Do solar decimetric spikes originate in coronal X-ray sources?

description: In the standard solar flare scenario, a large number of particles are accelerated in the corona. Nonthermal electrons emit both X-rays and radio waves. Thus, correlated signatures of the acceleration process are predicted at both wavelengths, coinciding either close to the footpoints of a magnetic loop or near the coronal X-ray source. We attempt to study the spatial connection between coronal X-ray emission and decimetric radio spikes to determine the site and geometry of the acceleration process. The positions of radio-spike sources and coronal X-ray sources are determined and analyzed in a well-observed limb event. Radio spikes are identified in observations from the Phoenix-2 spectrometer. Data from the Nançay radioheliograph are used to determine the position of the radio spikes. RHESSI images in soft and hard X-ray wavelengths are used to determine the X-ray flare geometry. Those observations are complemented by images from GOES/SXI. We find that decimetric spikes do not originate from coronal X-ray flare sources contrary to previous expectations. However, the observations suggest a causal link between the coronal X-ray source, related to the major energy release site, and simultaneous activity in the higher corona.

description: This paper introduces a methodology to analyze geometrically the singularities of manipulators, of which legs apply both actuation forces and constraint moments to their moving platform. Lower-mobility parallel manipulators and parallel manipulators, of which some legs do not have any spherical joint, are such manipulators. The geometric conditions associated with the dependency of six Plücker vectors of finite lines or lines at infinity constituting the rows of the inverse Jacobian matrix are formulated using Grassmann-Cayley Algebra. Accordingly, the singularity conditions are obtained in vector form. This study is illustrated with the singularity analysis of four manipulators.
