Creators: name: Narendra Boppana, Priyanka Polavarapu
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2023

description: The purpose of this study to design a bi-layer floating tablets of hydroxy urea (HU) and ramosetron (RS) for delivering multiple pharmaceuticals with atypical release patterns, such as one layer of drug as immediate release (IR) for fast relief and a second layer of drug as sustained release (SR) for long-term effect and reduced dose frequency. The floating layer of HU provides a sustained release by using polymers such as guar gum, carbopal 34 and HPMC K100. The immediate release layer ramosetron developed by using sodium starch glycolate (SSG), crospvidone (CP) as super disintegrants. The tablets are prepared by direct compression method and evaluated for physic chemical parameters such as hardness, thickness, friability, weight variation, in vitro drug release and assay.  The optimized formulation (H9) subjected to kinetic release models; the drug release fallows zero order. It can be concluded that the concept of bilayer floating tablets useful for extending the metabolism and improving the bioavailability.

description: Purpose: Typical measures of recovery from concussion—such as symptom scales, neurocognitive testing, or exertion measures—may not capture individualized experiences of concussion. This report examines how college students with concussion interact with and consider their recovery. Method: Sixteen college students who sustained concussions while in college completed 40- to 75-min semistructured interviews. All were enrolling to become mentors in a peer mentoring program for students with concussion. Questions addressed experiences as a college student with concussion, life changes following concussion, and role of peers in recovery. Using phenomenological reduction, analysis focused on the phenomenon of recovery and motivation for participation in a mentoring program. Results: Two main themes were found: (a) What Recovery Looks Like and (b) Gaining Perspective, Learning to Cope and Adapting to Change. Thirteen participants denied the label of “recovered” even though all had been deemed recovered and discharged from medical care. Instead, two subthemes emerged within What Recovery Looks Like: Ongoing Recovery and Reconceptualizing Recovery. Perceptions of recovery were influenced by effort, capacity, and resilience. In the second theme, students described strategies, resources, and supports used to cope with their injuries; most commonly used was emotion-focused coping. Conclusions: College students with concussion consider recovery as an ongoing process rather than a dichotomized condition. Student experiences may not be reflected in commonly used symptom scales or objective assessments. Supplemental Material S1. Mentor interview guides. Kemp, A. M., O'Brien, K. H., & Wallace, T.

description: Erdös and Niven proved in 1946 that for any positive integers $m$ and $d$, there are at most finitely many integers $n$ for which at least one of the elementary symmetric functions of $1/m, 1/(m+d), ..., 1/(m+(n-1)d)$ are integers. Recently, Wang and Hong refined this result by showing that if $n\geq 4$, then none of the elementary symmetric functions of $1/m, 1/(m+d), ..., 1/(m+(n-1)d)$ is an integer for any positive integers $m$ and $d$. Let $f$ be a polynomial of degree at least $2$ and of nonnegative integer coefficients. In this paper, we show that none of the elementary symmetric functions of $1/f(1), 1/f(2), ..., 1/f(n)$ is an integer except for $f(x)=x^{m}$ with $m\geq2$ being an integer and $n=1$.

Virtual and mixed reality

description: Purpose: Using virtual reality (VR) to support rehabilitation is an emerging area of research that may offer people with communication disorders a stable and safe communication environment to practice their communication skills. There are currently no VR applications that have been designed to assess or treat cognitive-communication disorders (CCDs) following traumatic brain injury (TBI). Therefore, this study aimed to explore the views of speech-language pathologists (SLPs) who work with people who have a TBI to generate ideas and considerations for using VR in rehabilitation for CCDs. VR researchers were included to provide expert advice about VR technology. Method: A total of 14 SLPs and three VR specialists participated in an online interview or focus group. Semistructured discussions explored participants’ perspectives related to potential ideas for VR use and any perceived barriers and facilitators to VR implementation in rehabilitation of CCDs following TBI. Data were video- and audio-recorded, transcribed, and analyzed qualitatively using thematic analysis. Results: Three main themes were generated from thematic analysis: VR is a tool that could enhance clinical practice, the need to consider and navigate potential red flags, and solutions to pave the way forward. Suggestions to overcome perceived barriers to VR use were also provided. Discussion: Participants expressed interest in using VR for rehabilitation of CCDs following TBI. However, potential barriers and risks to use should be considered prior to implementation. The findings offer guidance to support future research and development of VR in this field.

description: We present our initial results on the CO rotational spectral line energy distribution (SLED) of the $J$ to $J$$-$1 transitions from $J=4$ up to $13$ from Herschel SPIRE spectroscopic observations of 65 luminous infrared galaxies (LIRGs) in the Great Observatories All-Sky LIRG Survey (GOALS). The observed SLEDs change on average from one peaking at $J \le 4$ to a broad distribution peaking around $J \sim\,$6$-$7 as the IRAS 60-to-100 um color, $C(60/100)$, increases. However, the ratios of a CO line luminosity to the total infrared luminosity, $L_{\rm IR}$, show the smallest variation for $J$ around 6 or 7. This suggests that, for most LIRGs, ongoing star formation (SF) is also responsible for a warm gas component that emits CO lines primarily in the mid-$J$ regime ($5 \lesssim J \lesssim 10$). As a result, the logarithmic ratios of the CO line luminosity summed over CO (5$-$4), (6$-$5), (7$-$6), (8$-$7) and (10$-$9) transitions to $L_{\rm IR}$, $\log R_{\rm midCO}$, remain largely independent of $C(60/100)$, and show a mean value of $-4.13$ ($\equiv \log R^{\rm SF}_{\rm midCO}$) and a sample standard deviation of only 0.10 for the SF-dominated galaxies. Including additional galaxies from the literature, we show, albeit with small number of cases, the possibility that galaxies, which bear powerful interstellar shocks unrelated to the current SF, and galaxies, in which an energetic active galactic nucleus contributes significantly to the bolometric luminosity, have their $R_{\rm midCO}$ higher and lower than $R^{\rm SF}_{\rm midCO}$, respectively.

A qualitative appraisal of the construal and inculcation of shared frames of (p)reference in Australian media commentaries about China
Creators: name: Aves, Alan W.
Publisher: name: Macquarie University
Year: 2022
Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: This exploratory study is driven by two research questions, (1) how do Australian newspapers construe preferred stances about China? And (2) is there a generalisable taxonomy of frames used by Australian newspapers to (re)frame preferred media construals about China? To answer these questions, the study analyses forty broadly representative samples of print media commentaries drawn from two Australian newspapers, The Daily Telegraph, and The Age. The samples cover two three-month periods, a year apart, from 2019 and 2020 respectively. The study, which is largely positioned within a social constructivist framework, argues Australian newspaper commentaries not only inform, but are also informed by ideological, economic, political, and social expectations, and that they routinely position themselves with respect to alternative voices using rhetorically persuasive framings of issues and events to promote their preferred views about China. To test this argument, and also contribute to existing media research, the study adopts a Critical Discourse Studies approach employing two distinct methodologies, the Appraisal Framework (Martin & White, 2005) and Frame Semantics (Fillmore, 1982/2006). The study, taking a relatively broad approach, explores the mechanisms newspapers apply to adjust value positions, and negotiate attitudes and the interplay of different perspectives to infer, articulate and repeatedly direct readers’ attention towards making sense of and adopting shared representations about China. The findings reveal that although the total number of newspaper articles referring to China was 104% higher in 2020 than for the same period in 2019, the distribution of preferred framings about issues and events remained more or less consistent for the forty analysed samples. The appraisal framework analysis uncovered almost 68% of the articles restricted the number of dialogistically alternative voices and positions allowed, and the frame semantics analysis discovered all articles drew on a taxonomy of only nine frames to construe their stances about China.
Pixel area variations in sensors: a novel framework for predicting pixel fidelity and distortion in flat field response

description: We describe the drift field in thick depleted silicon sensors as a superposition of a one-dimensional backdrop field and various three-dimensional perturbative contributions that are physically motivated. We compute trajectories for the conversions along the field lines toward the channel and into volumes where conversions are confined by the perturbative fields. We validate this approach by comparing predictions against measured response distributions seen in five types of fixed pattern distortion features. We derive a quantitative connection between "tree ring" flat field distortions to astrometric and shape transfer errors with connections to measurable wavelength dependence - as ancillary pixel data that may be used in pipeline analysis for catalog population. Such corrections may be tested on DECam data, where correlations between tree ring flat field distortions and astrometric errors - together with their band dependence - are already under study. Dynamic effects, including the brighter-fatter phenomenon for point sources and the flux dependence of flat field fixed pattern features are approached using perturbations similar in form to those giving rise to the fixed pattern features. These in turn provide drift coefficient predictions that can be validated in a straightforward manner. Once the three parameters of the model are constrained using available data, the model is readily used to provide predictions for arbitrary photo-distributions with internally consistent wavelength dependence provided for free.

description: Analytic expressions for the differential cross sections of ultracold atoms and molecules that scatter primarily due to dipolar interactions are derived within the first Born approximation, and are shown to agree with the partial wave expansion. These cross sections are applied to the problem of cross-dimensional rethermalization. Strikingly, the rate of rethermalization can vary by as much as a factor of two, depending on the orientation of polarization of the dipoles. Thus the anisotropic dipole-dipole interaction can have a profound effect even on the behavior of a nondegenerate ultracold gas.

description: This article examines mean-field games for marriage. The results support the argument that optimizing the long-term well-being through effort and social feeling state distribution (mean-field) will help to stabilize marriage. However, if the cost of effort is very high, the couple fluctuates in a bad feeling state or the marriage breaks down. We then examine the influence of society on a couple using mean field sentimental games. We show that, in mean-field equilibrium, the optimal effort is always higher than the one-shot optimal effort. We illustrate numerically the influence of the couple's network on their feeling states and their well-being.

description: We detail on a continuous colloidal pattern replication by using contact photolithography. Chrome on quartz masks are fabricated using colloidal nanosphere lithography and subsequently used as photolithography stamps. Hexagonal pattern arrangements with different dimensions (980, 620 and 480 nm, using colloidal particles with respective diameters) have been studied. When the mask and the imaged resist layer were in intimate contact, a high fidelity pattern replica was obtained after photolithography exposure and processing. In turn, the presence of an air-gap in between has been found to affect the projected image onto the photoresist layer, strongly dependent on the mask feature size and air-gap height. Pattern replication, inversion and hybridization was achieved for 980 nm-period mask; no hybridization for the 620 nm; and only pattern replication for the 480 nm. These results are interpreted in the framework of a "Talbot-Fabry-Perot" effect. Numerical simulations corroborate with the experimental findings providing insight into the involved processes highlighting the important parameters affecting the exposure pattern. The approach allows complex subwavelength patterning and is relevant for a 3D layer-by-layer printing.

description: This report summarises the Seismicity Rate Model (SRM) of the 2022 New Zealand National Seismic Hazard Model revision. The SRM is comprised of multiple component models that fall into one of two classes: (1) inversion fault model (IFM) or (2) distributed seismicity model (DSM). The full details of each component model are further detailed in reports specific to each component. The IFM uses an inversion-based method to model occurrence rates for hundreds of thousands of potential ruptures that have been constructed from the New Zealand Community Fault Model v1.0. The DSM supplements the IFM occurrence rate forecast with forecasts based on additional and complementary information. The DSM also models ruptures for faults that are currently unknown. The DSM consists of a hybrid model using multiple datasets and a uniform rate zone (URZ) model that forecasts rates for low-seismicity regions. The SRM produces an occurrence rate forecast for 100 years and includes over-dispersion of the rate variability when compared to Poisson. The over-dispersion is introduced both via the SRM logic tree and via the application of a negative binomial model in the URZ. In this report, we summarise the model components, the SRM logic tree and the sensitivity analyses that have been performed to reduce the size of the logic tree. (The authors)

description: Purpose: Although compensatory cognitive rehabilitation is a common treatment approach for adults with cognitive-communication disorders, there are few assessment tools available to support clinicians in developing person-centered treatment plans. In addition to understanding a client’s cognitive and functional abilities, it is also important to understand how they compensate for their weaknesses, specifically with external aids (e.g., calendars, notes), in everyday life. The Functional External Memory Aid Tool (FEMAT) is a performance-based measure that quantifies and describes external aid use during task completion. Method: The purpose of this clinical focus article is to educate and equip clinicians to administer and interpretate the FEMAT with adult clients with cognitive-communication disorders. This clinical focus article describes the theoretical motivation for the FEMAT as well as the administration, scoring, and interpretation procedures for Version 2.0 of the measure. A hypothetical case example is included to illustrate how to use the FEMAT to develop person-centered goals and treatment plans. Conclusions: The FEMAT is psychometrically sound, clinically relevant, free, easily accessible, and quick to administer and provides data that are complementary to data obtained from traditional performance-based and/or patient-reported measures. This clinical focus article describes new resources that are available to help clinicians administer and interpret Version 2.0 of the FEMAT when serving adults with cognitive-communication disorders.

description: We investigate coupled stochastic differential equations governing N non-negative continuous random variables that satisfy a conservation principle. In various fields a conservation law requires that a set of fluctuating variables be non-negative and (if appropriately normalized) sum to one. As a result, any stochastic differential equation model to be realizable must not produce events outside of the allowed sample space. We develop a set of constraints on the drift and diffusion terms of such stochastic models to ensure that both the non-negativity and the unit-sum conservation law constraint are satisfied as the variables evolve in time. We investigate the consequences of the developed constraints on the Fokker-Planck equation, the associated system of stochastic differential equations, and the evolution equations of the first four moments of the probability density function. We show that random variables, satisfying a conservation law constraint, represented by stochastic diffusion processes, must have diffusion terms that are coupled and nonlinear. The set of constraints developed enables the development of statistical representations of fluctuating variables satisfying a conservation law. We exemplify the results with the bivariate beta process and the multivariate Wright-Fisher, Dirichlet, and Lochner's generalized Dirichlet processes.

description: Omkring 50 arter hører til slægten Abies, og de er hovedsagelig hjemmehørende i de tempererede regioner på den nordlige halvkugle (http://www.discoverlife.org). De spiller en meget vigtig miljømæssig rolle i disse regioner. Adskillige arter er også vigtige for tømmerproduktionen uden for deres oprindelsessted.  Andre arter er yderst værdsatte som prydtræer i landskabsbeplantninger. På grund af deres naturlige kegleform, farve og stærke grene til at bære udsmykninger er ædelgran også velegnet som juletræ og til produktion af pyntegran. Dette gælder især arter med god holdbarhed af nålene efter høst. I Europa er nordmannsgran den mest brugte art til juletræ, mens det i USA er frasergran (Abies fraseri) og sølvædelgran (nobilisgran) (Abies procera) som dominerer.  Andre arter af ædelgran, som anvendes til juletræsproduktionen, er balsamædelgran (A. balsamea), kæmpegran (A. grandis), koreaædelgran (Abies koreana), sibirisk ædelgran (A. sibirica), klippeædelgran (A. lasiocarpa), tyrkisk ædelgran (A. bornmuelleriana) og langnålet ædelgran (A. concolor). Sølvædelgran er den mest brugte art til produktion af pyntegran både i Europa og USA.

description: Zernike polynomials are commonly used to represent the wavefront phase on circular optical apertures, since they form a complete and orthonormal basis on the unit circle. Here, we present a generalization of this Zernike basis for a variety of important optical apertures. On the contrary to ad hoc solutions, most of them based on the Gram-Smith orthonormalization method, here we apply the diffeomorphism (mapping that has a differentiable inverse mapping) that transforms the unit circle into an angular sector of an elliptical annulus. In this way, other apertures, such as ellipses, rings, angular sectors, etc. are also included as particular cases. This generalization, based on in-plane warping of the basis functions, provides a unique solution, and what is more important, it guarantees a reasonable level of invariance of the mathematical properties and the physical meaning of the initial basis functions. Both, the general form and the explicit expressions for most common, elliptical and annular apertures are provided.

description: Purpose: Although compensatory cognitive rehabilitation is a common treatment approach for adults with cognitive-communication disorders, there are few assessment tools available to support clinicians in developing person-centered treatment plans. In addition to understanding a client’s cognitive and functional abilities, it is also important to understand how they compensate for their weaknesses, specifically with external aids (e.g., calendars, notes), in everyday life. The Functional External Memory Aid Tool (FEMAT) is a performance-based measure that quantifies and describes external aid use during task completion. Method: The purpose of this clinical focus article is to educate and equip clinicians to administer and interpretate the FEMAT with adult clients with cognitive-communication disorders. This clinical focus article describes the theoretical motivation for the FEMAT as well as the administration, scoring, and interpretation procedures for Version 2.0 of the measure. A hypothetical case example is included to illustrate how to use the FEMAT to develop person-centered goals and treatment plans. Conclusions: The FEMAT is psychometrically sound, clinically relevant, free, easily accessible, and quick to administer and provides data that are complementary to data obtained from traditional performance-based and/or patient-reported measures. This clinical focus article describes new resources that are available to help clinicians administer and interpret Version 2.0 of the FEMAT when serving adults with cognitive-communication disorders.

description: Recent experimental studies have revealed several unexpected properties of Mn-doped BaFe2As2. These include extension of the stripe-like magnetic (pi,0) phase to high temperatures above a critical Mn concentration only, the presence of diffusive and weakly temperature dependent magnetic (pi,pi) checkerboard scattering, and an apparent absent structural distortion from tetragonal to orthorhombic. Here, we study the effects of magnetic impurities both below and above the Néel transition temperature within a real-space five-band model appropriate to the iron pnictides. We show how these experimental findings can be explained by a cooperative behavior of the magnetic impurities and the conduction electrons mediating the Ruderman-Kittel-Kasuya-Yosida (RKKY) interactions between them.

Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2023
Subjects: Catalysis and mechanisms of reactions

description: Fossil fuels are currently the world’s primary energy source. The combustion of fossil fuels has resulted in massive emissions of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. Photocatalytic reduction of carbon dioxide is regarded as one the most promising and sustainable approaches, as energy-rich hydrocarbon fuels can be produced from carbon dioxide. It is commonly known as artificial photosynthesis, as the process is driven by clean and inexhaustible solar energy. As a whole, this work provides valuable insights into designing efficient 2D photocatalytic systems for methane production from carbon dioxide to alleviate energy and environmental crises concurrently.

description: In this paper we prove several lifting theorems for morphisms of tropical curves. We interpret the obstruction to lifting a finite harmonic morphism of augmented metric graphs to a morphism of algebraic curves as the non-vanishing of certain Hurwitz numbers, and we give various conditions under which this obstruction does vanish. In particular we show that any finite harmonic morphism of (non-augmented) metric graphs lifts. We also give various applications of these results. For example, we show that linear equivalence of divisors on a tropical curve C coincides with the equivalence relation generated by declaring that the fibers of every finite harmonic morphism from C to the tropical projective line are equivalent. We study liftability of metrized complexes equipped with a finite group action, and use this to classify all augmented metric graphs arising as the tropicalization of a hyperelliptic curve. We prove that there exists a d-gonal tropical curve that does not lift to a d-gonal algebraic curve. This article is the second in a series of two.

Early years practitioners’ perspectives on weapon and conflict play: Pedagogical challenges and opportunities

description: Background: Weapon and conflict play (WCP) is a contentious area of play in early years education that has been debated in previous literature. However, there is a paucity of research that directly explores the views of early years practitioners (EYPs) on WCP in England. Current research: This qualitative study aimed to explore the perspectives of EYPs on WCP in one local authority. Data was gathered from nine EYPs using semi-structured interviews and analysed using reflexive thematic analysis. The researcher adopted a critical realist ontological and epistemological position. Key findings and implications: Two overarching themes were developed: (1) ‘Making sense of WCP’ and (2) ‘The role of EYPs in WCP.’ Subthemes included: (1) The appeal of WCP, (2) The threat of WCP, (3) Learning through WCP, (4) It’s just another type of play!, (5) Uncertainty, (6) The need to protect children, and (7) If you can’t beat them, join them. The findings broadly align with existing research; WCP is perceived as presenting both challenges and opportunities in early years education. Uncertainty and cognitive dissonance around how to manage WCP was a key finding. Perspectives on WCP in this specific local authority appear generally more permissive when compared to existing research. The general consensus was that WCP is permitted, but within certain limits. Distinctive findings included how EYPs perceive WCP to function as catharsis, how WCP can be a way for children to explore morality, how girls’ WCP varies in type and content to boys’, and finally, how EYPs judge acceptable WCP not just by the risk of physical harm but also by the language children use. A key implication was the development of a framework to support EYPs to conceptualise and respond to WCP in their settings. Implications for how educational psychologists can support EYPs with WCP at the systemic level are discussed.
On the Einstein-Cartan cosmology vs. Planck data

description: The first comprehensive analyses of Planck data reveal that the cosmological model with dark energy and cold dark matter can satisfactorily explain the essential physical features of the expanding Universe. However, the inability to simultaneously fit large and small scale TT power spectrum, scalar power index smaller than one and the observations of the violation of the isotropy found by few statistical indicators of the CMB, urge theorists to search for explanations. We show that the model of the Einstein-Cartan cosmology with clustered dark matter halos and their corresponding clustered angular momenta coupled to torsion, can account for small scale - large scale discrepancy and larger peculiar velocities (bulk flows) for galaxy clusters. The nonvanishing total angular momentum (torsion) of the Universe enters as a negative effective density term in the Einstein-Cartan equations causing partial cancellation of the mass density. The integrated Sachs-Wolfe contribution of the Einstein-Cartan model is negative, thus it can provide partial cancellation of the large scale power of the TT CMB spectrum. The observed violation of the isotropy appears as a natural ingredient of the Einstein-Cartan model caused by the spin densities of light Majorana neutrinos in the early stage of the evolution of the Universe and bound to the lepton CP violation and matter-antimatter asymmetry.

The Effect of Inclusionary Zoning on the Housing Supply in U.S. Cities: A Bunching Analysis

description: Inclusionary Zoning (IZ) is a policy used in hundreds of U.S. cities and counties in which developers are required to set aside a fraction of units in new residential buildings for low-income tenants and charge below-market rent. A concern about IZ is that it decreases the housing supply by making it less profitable to build. I investigate the regulatory burden IZ imposes on developers by exploiting a common feature of IZ policies, that they only take effect above a sharp threshold of unit count, such as 20+ unit buildings. I study the extent to which developers avoid having to comply with IZ by strategically constructing apartment buildings with unit counts right below these thresholds. I find moderate IZ-driven bunching below the thresholds in some jurisdictions, but in most cities and counties studied there is no bunching under the thresholds.
