description: The equivalence of inertial and gravitational masses is a defining feature of general relativity. Here, we clarify the status of the equivalence principle for interactions mediated by a universally coupled scalar, motivated partly by recent attempts to modify gravity at cosmological distances. Although a universal scalar-matter coupling is not mandatory, once postulated, it is stable against classical and quantum renormalizations in the matter sector. The coupling strength itself is subject to renormalization of course. The scalar equivalence principle is violated only for objects for which either the graviton self-interaction or the scalar self-interaction is important---the first applies to black holes, while the second type of violation is avoided if the scalar is Galilean-symmetric.

description: The non linear aspects of a recently proposed model of massive spin-2 particles with propagating torsion are studied. We obtain a nonlinear equation which reduces at linear order to a generalized Fierz-Pauli equation in any background space-time with or without a vanishing torsion. We contrast those results with properties of a class of bigravity theories in an arbitrary background Einstein manifold. It is known that the non perturbative spectrum of the bigravity model has 8 propagating physical degrees of freedom. This is identical to the physical propagating degrees of freedom of the massive spin-2 torsion model at the linearized order. The obtained non linear version of the Fierz-Pauli field equations, however, contains terms absent in the bigravity case which indicates that the curved space generalization of the unique flat space space Fierz-Pauli equation is not unique. Moreover, in the torsion massive gravity model the Fierz-Pauli field appears as a derivative of fundamental fields. This, however, does not generate any unwanted pole once coupled to some external sources.

description: Abstract:
This map is not intended to be used for selecting individual sites. Its purpose is to inform land-use planners, government officials, and the public in a general way about geologic bedrock conditions that affect the selection of sites for various purposes. The properties of thick soils may supercede those of the underlying bedrock and should be considered on a site-to-site basis. At any site, it is important to understand the characteristics of both the soils and the underlying rock.

description: Medical students’ specialty selection is strongly influenced by highly rated faculty, resident educators and mentors. Income, lifestyle, personality attributes, and intellectual content are particularly important factors. However, the reactions of faculty and residents medical students interact with during clerkship have not yet been explored. The study sought to understand the effect of faculty and resident feedback to medical students upon disclosure of their specialty selection. A validated 41-item survey was developed to gather medical student experiences with faculty and resident feedback regarding specialty selection. The survey was distributed in March 2021 via Qualtrics. There were 329 surveys included in the analysis. A total of 41% of students felt uncomfortable sharing their specialty selection with faculty and residents. Fear of judgments, grades, and retaliation were reported as reasons medical students were not comfortable with sharing their decision. It was reported that 26.8% of medical students changed their specialty selection following negative feedback from faculty or residents. Family medicine applicants reported the highest proportion of negative feedback from different specialty faculty (20%) and residents (24%). Surgical specialties received the most positive feedback regardless of the faculty or resident specialty. The findings show many medical students report discomfort about sharing their intended specialty with faculty and residents. For medical student who do share their career trajectory, faculty and resident feedback plays an important role.

description: Objectives: To determine whether veterinarians in primary care practices (PCPs) and board-certified clinicians (BCCs) approach treatment of dogs with immune-mediated haemolytic anaemia (IMHA) similarly, and whether practitioners with more experience treat similarly to those with less experience. We hypothesised those in PCPs would show more variation in their approach to similar cases than BCCs. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted by distributing a questionnaire to BCCs and veterinarians in PCPs. The questionnaire included direct questions and a number of clinical scenarios intended to capture approaches to common treatment problems. Results: Questionnaire responses were received from 241 veterinarians, including 216 in PCPs and 25 BCCs. Veterinarians in both settings used similar tests for diagnosis of IMHA, but BCCs performed more tests to exclude underlying causes of ‘associative’ disease. All veterinarians reported use of similar initial dosages of glucocorticoids (median 2 mg/kg per day in both groups, p = 0.92) but those used by more experienced practitioners were higher than those with less experience. Most veterinarians made allowances for the weight of dogs, using lower prednisolone dosages in a clinical scenario involving a 40 kg dog compared to a 9 kg dog (p = 0.025 for PCP, p = 0.002 for BCC). BCCs reported greater use of combinations of immunosuppressive drugs (p<0.0001) and of antithrombotic drugs (p<0.0001); use of antithrombotic drugs was also less common among more experienced practitioners compared to less experienced. Conclusions: Approaches to treatment of dogs with IMHA differ between BCCs and those in PCP. These differences may affect design and implementation of future research studies and clinical guidelines.

description: This note constitutes a corrigendum to the article of Azomahou, JSPI, 139:2581-2597. The aggregation of isotropic four nearest neighbors autoregressive models on the lattice, with random coefficient, is investigated. The spectral density of the resulting random field is studied in details for a large class of law of the AR coefficient. Depending on this law, the aggregated field may exhibit short memory or isotropic long memory.

description: This paper analyses COVID-19 patients’ dynamics during the first wave in the region of Castilla y León (Spain) with around 2.4 million inhabitants using multi-state competing risk survival models. From the date registered as the start of the clinical process, it is assumed that a patient can progress through three intermediate states until reaching an absorbing state of recovery or death. Demographic characteristics, epidemiological factors such as the time of infection and previous vaccinations, clinical history, complications during the course of the disease and drug therapy for hospitalised patients are considered as candidate predictors. Regarding risk factors associated with mortality and severity, consistent results with many other studies have been found, such as older age, being male, and chronic diseases. Specifically, the hospitalisation (death) rate for those over 69 is 27.2% (19.8%) versus 5.3% (0.7%) for those under 70, and for males is 14.5%(7%) versus 8.3%(4.6%)for females. Among patients with chronic diseases the highest rates of hospitalisation are 26.1% for diabetes and 26.3% for kidney disease, while the highest death rate is 21.9% for cerebrovascular disease. Moreover, specific predictors for different transitions are given, and estimates of the probability of recovery and death for each patient are provided by the model. Some interesting results obtained are that for patients infected at the end of the period the hazard of transition from hospitalisation to ICU is significatively lower (p < 0.001) and the hazard of transition from hospitalisation to recovery is higher (p < 0.001). For patients previously vaccinated against pneumococcus the hazard of transition to recovery is higher (p < 0.001). Finally, internal validation and calibration of the model are also performed.

description: BackgroundBy 2050, worldwide dementia prevalence is expected to triple. Affordable, scalable interventions are required to support protective behaviours such as physical activity, cognitive training and healthy eating. This paper outlines the theory-, evidence- and person-based development of 'Active Brains': a multi-domain digital behaviour change intervention to reduce cognitive decline amongst older adults.MethodsDuring the initial planning phase, scoping reviews, consultation with PPI contributors and expert co-investigators and behavioural analysis collated and recorded evidence that was triangulated to inform provisional 'guiding principles' and an intervention logic model. The following optimisation phase involved qualitative think aloud and semi-structured interviews with 52 older adults with higher and lower cognitive performance scores. Data were analysed thematically and informed changes and additions to guiding principles, the behavioural analysis and the logic model which, in turn, informed changes to intervention content.ResultsScoping reviews and qualitative interviews suggested that the same intervention content may be suitable for individuals with higher and lower cognitive performance. Qualitative findings revealed that maintaining independence and enjoyment motivated engagement in intervention-targeted behaviours, whereas managing ill health was a potential barrier. Social support for engaging in such activities could provide motivation, but was not desirable for all. These findings informed development of intervention content and functionality that appeared highly acceptable amongst a sample of target users.ConclusionsA digitally delivered intervention with minimal support appears acceptable and potentially engaging to older adults with higher and lower levels of cognitive performance. As well as informing our own intervention development, insights obtained through this process may be useful for others working with, and developing interventions for, older adults and/or those with cognitive impairment.
Gaussian pulse dynamics in gain media with Kerr nonlinearity

description: Using the Kantorovitch method in combination with a Gaussian ansatz, we derive the equations of motion for spatial, temporal and spatiotemporal optical propagation in a dispersive Kerr medium with a general transverse and spectral gain profile. By rewriting the variational equations as differential equations for the temporal and spatial Gaussian q parameters, optical ABCD matrices for the Kerr effect, a general transverse gain profile and nonparabolic spectral gain filtering are obtained. Further effects can easily be taken into account by adding the corresponding ABCD matrices. Applications include the temporal pulse dynamics in gain fibers and the beam propagation or spatiotemporal pulse evolution in bulk gain media. As an example, the steady-state spatiotemporal Gaussian pulse dynamics in a Kerr-lens mode-locked laser resonator is studied.

description: Hand, foot and mouth disease (HFMD) is a common infectious disease in western Asia area and the full range of the long-term sequelae of HFMD remains poorly described. We conducted a retrospective hospital-based cohort study of HFMD patients with central nervous system (CNS) complications caused by EV-A71 or CV-A16 between 2010 and 2016. Patients were classified into three groups, including CNS only, autonomic nervous system (ANS) dysregulation, and cardiorespiratory failure. Neurologic examination, neurodevelopmental assessments, Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and lung function, were performed at follow up. Of the 176 patients followed up, 24 suffered CNS only, 134 ANS dysregulation, and 18 cardiorespiratory failure. Median follow-up period 4.3 years (range [1.4-8.3]). The rate of neurological abnormalities was 25% (43 of 171) at discharge and 10% (17 of 171) at follow-up. The rates of poor outcome were significantly different between the three groups of complications in motor (28%, 39%, 69%) domain (p=0.036), but not for cognitive (20%, 25%, 31%), language (25%, 36%, 38%) and adaptive (24%, 16%, 28%) domains (p=0.688, p=0.605, p=0.329). For children with ventilated during hospitalization, 41% patients (14 of 34) had an obstructive ventilatory defect, and one patient with scoliosis had mixed ventilatory dysfunction. Persistent abnormalities on brain MRI were 0% (0 of 7), 9% (2 of 23) and 57% (4 of 7) in CNS, ANS and cardiorespiratory failure group separately. Patients with HFMD may have abnormalities in neurological, motor, language, cognition, adaptive behavior and respiratory function. Long-term follow-up programs for children’s neurodevelopmental and respiratory function may be warranted.

description: Semiconductor avalanche photodiodes (APDs) are commonly used for single photon detection in quantum key distribution. Recently, many attacks using bright illumination have been proposed to manipulate gated InGaAs APDs. In order to devise effective counter-measures, careful analysis of these attacks must be carried out to distinguish between incorrect operation and genuine loopholes. Here, we show that correctly-operated, gated APDs are immune to continuous-wave illumination attacks, while monitoring the photocurrent for anomalously high values is a straightforward counter-measure against attacks using temporally tailored light.

Metallicity and Far-Infrared Luminosity of High Redshift Quasars

description: We present the results of an exploratory study of broad line region (BLR) metallicity in 34 2.2 < z < 4.6 quasars with far-infrared (FIR) luminosities (L_FIR) from 10^13.4 to 10^12.1 L_\odot . Quasar samples sorted by L_FIR might represent an evolutionary sequence if the star formation rates (SFRs) in quasar hosts generally diminish across quasar lifetimes. We use rest-frame ultraviolet spectra from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey to construct three composite spectra sorted by L_FIR, corresponding to average SFRs of 4980, 2130 and 340 M_\odot yr^-1 after correcting for a nominal quasar FIR contribution. The measured N V λ 1240/C IV λ 1550 and Si IV λ 1397+O IV] λ 1402/C IV λ 1550 emission line ratios indicate super-solar BLR metallicities in all three composites, with no evidence for a trend with the star formation rate. The formal derived metallicities, Z ~ 5-9 Z_\odot , are similar to those derived for the BLRs of other quasars at similar redshifts and luminosities. These results suggest that the ongoing star formation in the host is not responsible for the metal enrichment of the BLR gas. Instead, the BLR gas must have been enriched before the visible quasar phase. These results for high quasar metallicities, regardless of L_FIR, are consistent with evolution scenarios wherein visibly bright quasars appear after the main episode(s) of star formation and metal enrichment in the host galaxies. Finally, young quasars, those more closely associated with a recent merger or a blowout of gas and dust, may exhibit tracers of these events, such as redder continuum slopes and higher incidence of narrow absorption lines. With the caveat of small sample sizes, we find no relation between L_FIR and the reddening or the incidence of absorption lines.

Adjacency of the other : an examination of the impact of alterity on the production of built form during the Mamlūk Sultanate
Creators: name: Moench, Kathryn Anne Jasmin
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2015

description: The purpose of this study is to understand the spatial consequences of Mamlūk social identity and rule on urban architectural form in al-Qāhirah, or Cairo, during the Mamlūk Sultanate (1250–1517 CE / 648–923 AH); specifically the early Bahri period from 1250 to 1382 CE (648–784 AH). Particular examination will be made of the quality of Otherness inherent to the Mamlūk identity. The intent being to interpret how this quality is reflected in Mamlūk aspirations, motivations, and influences and how those were translated to and imbued within the architecture they patronized. It is the premise of this work that the differences between the Mamlūks and the culture at large that ‘produced’ them are linked immanently—either directly or causally—to their production and patronage of architecture during the Bahri dynasty. The supposition being that there are significant and demonstrable manifestations of this identity within the built culture of the Sultanate. The stated interest is not solely in the spatial or decorative consequences—architectural products—of Otherness but also its influence on the process of ‘becoming’ for that built form. That process being the means by which that social identity contributed to or promoted the proliferation of architecture and the thriving urban fabric of al-Qāhirah. This thesis will pay particular attention to the Bahri Sultans al-Zahir Rukn-al-Din Baybars al-Bunduqdari, al-Mansur Sayf-al-Din Qala’un, and al-Nasir Nasir-al-Din Muhammad and their roles as architectural patrons. Understanding of such Otherness will be achieved through examination using the lens of theoretical discourse specific to the spatial and Other. In so doing the intent is to create active discourse specific to such contradictory and multilayered Otherness, which may be applied elsewhere.

description: A new sesquiterpenoid glycoside, consisting of one vetispirane-type, dmetelisproside A (1), together with two known megastigmane sesquiterpenoids, citroside A (2) and staphylionoside D (3) were isolated from the leaves of Datura metel L. The structures were determined by analysis of their MS and NMR data as well as by comparison with literature values. All isolates were evaluated for cytotoxicity toward SGC-7901, Hepg2, HeLa, MCF-7, and MDA-MB-231 cancer cell lines, and anti-inflammatory activity against nitric oxide (NO) in RAW 264.7 cells in vitro. Compounds 1 and 2 exhibited pronounced cytotoxicity against SGC-7901 and HeLa cells with IC50 values in the range of 21.43 to 29.51 μm. All three compounds displayed potential effects against NO production with IC50 values of 31.10, 34.25, and 44.31 μm, respectively. Thus, these isolated compounds in the leaves of Datura metel L were subjected to bioactivity substances for future studies on medicinal application.

description: We investigate the effect of stellar density on the ultraviolet (UV) emission from M31's globular clusters (GCs). Published far-UV (FUV) and near-UV (NUV) colours from Galaxy Evolution and Explorer (GALEX) observations are used as a probe into the temperature of the horizontal branch (HB) stars in these clusters. From these data, we demonstrate a significant relationship between the core density of a cluster and its FUV-NUV colour, with dense clusters having bluer ultraviolet colours. These results are consistent with a population of (FUV bright) extreme-HB (EHB) stars, the production of which is related to the stellar density in the clusters. Such a relationship may be expected if the formation of EHB stars is enhanced in dense clusters due to dynamical interactions. We also consider the contribution of low mass X-ray binaries (LMXBs) to the integrated FUV luminosity of a cluster. We note that two of the three metal rich clusters, identified by Rey et al. 2007 as having a FUV excess, are known to host LMXBs in outburst. Considering the FUV luminosity of Galactic LMXBs, we suggest that a single LMXB is unlikely to produce more than 10% of the observed FUV luminosity of clusters that contain a significant population of blue-HB stars.

Multiple health risk behaviour

Low- and middle-income country

description: Abstract: Background: Self-control (SC) has been consistently found associated with diverse health risk behaviors (HRBs), but little research refers to low- and middle-income countries. Furthermore, there is evidence that some HRBs tend to aggregate, however studies with the specific purpose of addressing the relation between SC and multiple health risk behaviors (MHRBs) are rare. The objective of this study is to analyze these associations and provide evidence to help filling these gaps. Methods: A sample of 2106 9th grade students from the city of São Paulo responded a self-administered questionnaire in 2017. We tested the association of SC measured as an ordinal variable with four levels (higher, high, medium and low) with six HRBs (binge drinking, marijuana use, smoking, high consumption of ultra-processed food, sedentary behavior and bullying perpetration), in both separated and aggregated forms (MHRBs), controlling for potential confounders. Binary logistic regression was used to test the association between exposure (SC) and single outcomes. In order to analyze the association of SC with MHRBs, multinomial logistic regression was employed. Results: SC was associated with five of six HRBs investigated and with MHRBs. The effect size of the association of SC and MHRBs increased in a steep pattern with accumulation of more HRBs. Conclusion: Low self-control is associated with most HRBs investigated and the magnitude of the association increases when more than two or three HRBs are accumulated. There seems to be a group of adolescents in a position of pronounced vulnerability for MHRBs. This should be considered when designing public policy and prevention programs. In contexts of limited or scarce resources and public funds, interventions focusing the most vulnerable groups, instead of universal interventions, should be considered.

126 Arguments Concerning the Motion of the Earth, as presented by Giovanni Battista Riccioli in his 1651 Almagestum Novum

Subjects: subject: History and Philosophy of Physics (physics.hist-ph)

description: In 1651 the Italian astronomer Giovanni Battista Riccioli published within his Almagestum Novum, a massive 1500 page treatise on astronomy, a discussion of 126 arguments for and against the Copernican hypothesis (49 for, 77 against). A synopsis of each argument is presented here, with discussion and analysis. Seen through Riccioli's 126 arguments, the debate over the Copernican hypothesis appears dynamic and indeed similar to more modern scientific debates. Both sides present good arguments as point and counter-point. Religious arguments play a minor role in the debate; careful, reproducible experiments a major role. To Riccioli, the anti-Copernican arguments carry the greater weight, on the basis of a few key arguments against which the Copernicans have no good response. These include arguments based on telescopic observations of stars, and on the apparent absence of what today would be called "Coriolis Effect" phenomena; both have been overlooked by the historical record (which paints a picture of the 126 arguments that little resembles them). Given the available scientific knowledge in 1651, a geo-heliocentric hypothesis clearly had real strength, but Riccioli presents it as merely the "least absurd" available model - perhaps comparable to the Standard Model in particle physics today - and not as a fully coherent theory. Riccioli's work sheds light on a fascinating piece of the history of astronomy, and highlights the competence of scientists of his time.

Generalized Geologic Map for Land-Use Planning: Bracken and Robertson Counties, Kentucky
Creators: name: Smath, Richard A.
name: Carey, Daniel I.
Publisher: name: Kentucky Geological Survey, University of Kentucky
Year: 2006

description: Abstract:
This map is not intended to be used for selecting individual sites. Its purpose is to inform land-use planners, government officials, and the public in a general way about geologic bedrock conditions that affect the selection of sites for various purposes. The properties of thick soils may supercede those of the underlying bedrock and should be considered on a site-to-site basis. At any site, it is important to understand the characteristics of both the soils and the underlying rock.
Being division chairs : a hermeneutic phenomenological investigation into the experiences of academic middle managers in a Canadian college
Creators: name: Denholm, Julia Elizabeth
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2015

description: This hermeneutic phenomenological study investigates the experiences of a group of academic managers (the division chairs) at South City College (SCC), a primarily university-transfer post-secondary institution in Vancouver, Canada. Written from the perspective of a participant-observer, this case study research reveals the myriad ways in which the division chairs’ leadership and management aspirations were confounded by institutional systems and attitudes that had not evolved in response to changes in the post-secondary climate in British Columbia and elsewhere. The experiences of both the division chairs and contextual participants were gathered in a series of one-on-one interviews transcribed by the author. Interpretative phenomenological analysis of the data revealed that both a commitment to the collegial model and responsibility for repetitive clerical duties act as primary obstacles to leadership success for the division chairs. The author’s role as a division chair during the time of data collection and analysis provides particular and specific insight into the division chairs’ experiences during a time of institutional transition. Recommendations include that the institution should invest in administrative and systems support for the division chairs. Doing so would reinforce that the division chair role is a valued component of the institution’s collegial culture; would relieve the division chairs of any clerical tasks identified as not essential to their role; would free the time necessary for the division chairs to lead and manage collegially; and would potentially resolve the problem of the division chairs having enormous responsibility but no authority by allowing for the consultative processes that characterize a well-functioning collegial institution.
Complex P-T-t-d history of supracrustal rocks of the Metamorphic Internal zone of the southern Wopmay Orogen, NT
Creators: name: Smar, Leanne Marie

description: An abundance of Paleoproterozoic orogenic belts are distributed globally, as peripheral terranes accreted against the margins of Archean cratons. The abundance of these terranes indicates a period of tectonic activity between 2.1 and 1.8 Ga. The study of such belts has offered insight into the nature and rate of tectonic activity in the Paleoproterozoic. Analysis of thermo-tectonic events, paired with the collection of geochronological data has led to the discovery of a supercontinent that existed before the formation of Rodinia, called Columbia. The 1.9 Ga Wopmay Orogen in northern Canada is a Paleoproterozoic belt, comprising a complex amalgamation of tectonic elements, which is thought to have formed during the assembly of Columbia. The advent of new geochronological data has demanded that the current P-T-t-d (Pressure-Temperature-time-deformation) model of the Wopmay Orogen be reconsidered. To reconstruct the evolution of an orogenic belt, structural analysis of overprinting kinetic fabrics, thermodynamic analysis of metamorphic mineral assemblages, and the determination of absolute timing of thermo-tectonic events are required. Two map areas were chosen to conduct an analysis of the kinetic and metamorphic evolution of the southern Wopmay Orogen, a region of the belt that has historically been under-studied. The Brown Water and the Little Crapeau Lake areas are situated south of 65˚N in the Metamorphic Internal zone of the orogen, and are bounded to the east and west by the Archean Slave craton and the ca. 1850 Ma Great Bear Magmatic zone, respectively. The areas comprise a sequence of pelitic to semi-pelitic schists and gneisses that overlie parautochthonous Archean basement. Rocks in both areas show evidence for five generations of overprinting fabrics, S₁C-S₅C at Little Crapeau Lake, and S₁B-S₅B at Brown Water Lake. Conditions of peak metamorphism were attained synchronous with the intrusion of the ca. 1877 Ma Little Crapeau Sill, and the regionally expansive ca. 1850 Ma Rodrigues granite. At Brown Water Lake peak metamorphic conditions were reached syn-S₅B at 3.1-4.2 kbars and 570-670˚C, and syn-S₂C at 3.1-3.9 kbars and 570-630˚C at Little Crapeau Lake. Chemical and isotopic geochronological dating of monazite provided metamorphic age constraints that concurred with ages of local intrusions.

description: The decay width and mass of the Ds1(2536)+ meson are measured via the decay channel Ds1+ -> D*+KS0 using 385 fb^-1 of data recorded with the BABAR detector in the vicinity of the Y(4S) resonance at the PEP-II asymmetric-energy electron-positron collider. The result for the decay width is 0.92 +- 0.03 (stat) +- 0.04 (syst) MeV. For the mass, a value of 2535.08 +- 0.01 +- 0.15 MeV/c^2 is obtained. The mass difference between the Ds1+ and the D*+ is measured to be 524.83 +- 0.01 +- 0.04 MeV/c^2, representing a significant improvement compared to the current world average. The unnatural spin-parity assignment for the Ds1+ meson is confirmed.

description: Thermal effects for inelastic neutrino-nucleus scattering off even-even nuclei in the iron region are studied. Allowed and first-forbidden contributions to the cross sections are calculated within the quasiparticle random phase approximation, extended to finite temperatures within the Thermo-Field-Dynamics formalism. The GT$_0$ strength distribution at finite temperatures is calculated for the sample nucleus $^{54}$Fe. The neutral-current neutrino-nucleus inelastic cross section is calculated for relevant temperatures during the supernova core collapse. The thermal population of the excited states significantly enhances the cross section at low neutrino energies. In agreement with studies using a large scale shell-model approach the enhancement is mainly due to neutrino up-scattering at finite temperatures.

Curvature sensors: noise and its propagation

Year: 2010

description: The signal measured with a curvature sensor is here analyzed. In the outset, we derive the required minimum number of sensing elements at the pupil edges, in dependence on the total number of sensing elements. The distribution of the sensor signal is further characterized in terms of its mean, variance, kurtosis and skewness. It is established that while the approximation in terms of a gaussian distribution is correct down to fairly low photon numbers, much higher numbers are required to obtain meaningful sensor measurements for small wavefront distortions. Finally, we indicate a closed expression for the error propagation factor and for the photon-noise induced Strehl loss.

description: Coherent electron cooling is an ultra-high-bandwidth form of stochastic cooling which utilizes the charge perturbation from Debye screening as a seed for a free-electron laser. The amplified and frequency-modulated signal that results from the free-electron laser process is then used to give an energy-dependent kick on the hadrons in a bunch. In this paper, we present a theoretical description of a high-gain free-electron laser with applications to a complete theoretical description of coherent electron cooling.

description: Stochastic computing (SC) is an alternative computing paradigm that processes data in the form of long uniform bit-streams rather than conventional compact weighted binary numbers. SC is fault-tolerant and can compute on small, efficient circuits, promising advantages over conventional arithmetic for newer and smaller computer chips. However, SC is primarily used in scientific research, not in practical applications. Digital sound source localization (SSL) locates speakers using multiple microphones in cell phones, laptops, and other voice-controlled devices. SC has not been integrated to SSL in practice nor in theory until now. In this work, for the first time to the best of our knowledge, we replace a conventional computational block of an existing SSL algorithm with an SC-based design and implement a working SC-based sound source localizer. The practical part of this work shows that the proposed stochastic circuits do not rely on conventional analog-to-digital conversion and can process data in the form of pulse-width-modulated (PWM) signals. The proposed SC design consumes up to 39% less area than the conventional reference design. The SC-based design can consume less power depending on the computational accuracy, for example, 6% less power consumption for 3-bit inputs. The presented stochastic circuit is not limited to SSL and is readily applicable to other practical applications.

description: In the current research, two new Co(II)- and Cu(II)-containing coordination polymers with the chemical formulae of [Co(L)(bpdc)]·1.6H2O (1) and [Cu3(L)2(bptc)2(H2O)10]·2H2O (2) have been solvothermally synthesized by reactions of the corresponding metal salt with mixed organic ligands of 1,4-di(1H-imidazol-4-yl)benzene (L) and 4,4′-benzophenonedicarboxylic acid (H2bpdc) or biphenyl-2,4′,5-tricarboxylic acid (H3bptc). The single-crystal X-ray diffraction study shows that complex 1 features a porous three-dimensional (3D) framework with a 4-connected dmp net, and complex 2 shows a two-dimensional (2D) network, which is further extended into a 3D supramolecular architecture through O–H⋯O hydrogen bonds. Their treatment activity on pediatric asthma was evaluated, and the mechanism was evaluated at the same time. The releasing level of the IL-5 was measured with ELISA detection kit, and the activation level of the NF-κb was assessed under the preformation of real-time RT-PCR.

description: A simple and popular Bridgman's formula predicts a linear correlation between the thermal conductivity coefficient and the sound velocity of dense liquids. Unfortunately, it cannot be applied to strongly coupled plasma-related fluids, because the sound velocity can greatly increase as screening weakens. We propose a modification of the Bridgman formula by correlating the thermal conductivity coefficient with the transverse (shear) sound velocity. This approach is demonstrated to work reasonably well in screened Coulomb (Yukawa) fluids and can be useful in the context of complex (dusty) plasmas.
